Viva Mexico Doc!

Bugs Bunny as Miguel Hidalgo

On a Trip to Six Flags Mexico located in the south part of the city, I found Bugs Bunny dressed as Miguel Hidalgo in a gift shop. 
Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla initiated the independence movement in 1810 and is considered the father of the Nation. he was a catholic priest who got very upset at how the Spanish government treated the population specially the poor decided to do something about it, so he called everyone in town using the Parrish bell to join him against the Spanish abusers using an image of the Virgin Mary of Guadalupe  as his banner of independence.
