Today, we celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the Independence of Mexico at Pioneer Courthouse Square. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to a “really big square.” It’s name is the Plaza De La Constitucion in Mexico City. I was in Mexico City in 1982 on the day the government nationalized the Banks of Mexico. The English newspaper reported that one million people were protesting in and around the square. It’s bordered on one side by the Government Palace, the seat of the Mexican Government. The “Square People” blog sends its congratulations to the "Square People", who are on the plaza today in Mexico City, as they celebrate their 200th Anniversary of the Independence.
