Monday, June 19, 1911. Never going back to Mexico and La Agrupación Protectora Mexicana.

Porfirio Díaz, now in exile in France, stated he would not return to Mexico even if asked to do so.

And in fact, he was never asked to do so, and he remains, now passed on, in Paris.

Antonio Gómez, age 14, was lynched in Thorndale, Milam County, Texas.  The victim had killed a white Texan in an altercation.  This particular murder was instrumental in the creation of the Mexican American mutual aid society, La Agrupación Protectora Mexicana.
