Chicago History Museum says…

As America faced its darkest days during the Civil War, Mexico, too, waged war that led to the creation of its modern state. In conjunction with Abraham Lincoln Transformed, the Museum presents Benito Juárez and the Making of Modern Mexico. Both Lincoln and Juárez faced urgent situations that would forever shape the future of their countries. This show provides an introduction to Mexico’s most revered leader with many national treasures on display for the first time in Chicago.
