In this series, we’ll follow the groundbreaking research of UCLA professor Kelly Lytle Hernández on the dramatic story of the Magonistas. These migrant rebels, led by brilliant but ill-tempered radical Ricardo Flores Magón, sparked the 1910 Mexican Revolution while on the run from U.S. and Mexican authorities in the “Wild West” U.S. borderlands.

The Magonistas were a band of journalists, miners, and migrant workers determined to overthrow Mexico’s infamous dictator Porfirio Diaz, who ruled Mexico from 1876 until he was forced into exile at the outset of the 1910 Mexican Revolution. The radicals also worked to oust U.S. imperialists who held much of Mexico’s mining and ranching land and wealth, such as the Guggenheims and the Rockefellers. They did this while outrunning and outsmarting Mexican and U.S. authorities, including early versions of the U.S. Border Patrol and the FBI.
