The streets and buildings in Downtown Mexico City—the Centro Histórico— has been home to the founders of our national culture. When we hear the names of Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera, Jesús Contreras, Guillermo Prieto, Amado Nervo, Julio Ruelas, Cirio B. Ceballos—to mention just a few—we are dazzled by the art and the beauty, the courage and truth of their endeavors, and we are convinced of the dignity they have brought to our history.
