The 19-foot-tall bronze statue weighs 3,600 pounds and features a prominent inscription about peace in both English and Spanish languages.
Mexico presented this memorial to the United States in 1969, following the US gift of an Abraham Lincoln statue to Mexico in 1966.
The memorial stands as a symbol of diplomatic relations between Mexico and the United States, featuring bilingual inscriptions and cultural elements.
The memorial occupies a central position in Washington DC's National Mall area, making it easily accessible through various public transportation options.
Soil from Guelatao, Oaxaca, the birthplace of Benito Juárez, was placed at the base of the memorial during its dedication ceremony.
