Benito Juarez, Bronze statue in Virginia Avenue, Washington D.C., United States
The 19-foot-tall bronze statue shows Benito Juarez standing with his right arm raised while his left hand rests on a book titled Reforma.
The monument was dedicated in 1969 as a reciprocal gift from Mexico after the United States presented a statue of Abraham Lincoln to Mexico in 1966.
The inscription at the base features the famous quote 'Respect for the rights of others is peace' in both English and Spanish languages.
The National Park Service maintains this public monument at the intersection of Virginia Avenue and New Hampshire Avenue, allowing visitors year-round access.
The granite base contains soil from San Pablo Guelatao, the Mexican village where Benito Juarez was born, stored in a hidden urn beneath the structure.
