Leopoldo Méndez
Leopoldo Méndez (June 30, 1902 – February 8, 1969) was one of Mexico's most important graphic artists and one of that country's most important artists from the 20th century. Méndez's work mostly focused on engraving for illustrations and other print work generally connected to his political and social activism. His most influential work was connected to organizations such as the '' Liga de Escritores y Artistas Revolucionarios'' and the '' Taller de Gráfica Popular'' creating propaganda related to the ideals of the Mexican Revolution and against the rise of Fascism in the 1930s.

La Malinche
Marina () or Malintzin (; 1500 – 1529), more popularly known as La Malinche (), was a Nahua woman from the Mexican Gulf Coast, who became known for contributing to the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire (1519–1521), by acting as an interpreter, advisor, and intermediary for the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés. She was one of 20 enslaved women given to the Spaniards in 1519 by the natives of Tabasco. Cortés chose her as a consort, and she later gave birth to their first son, Martín – one of the first ''Mestizos'' (people of mixed European and Indigenous American ancestry) in New Spain.
