Mexican Independence Day celebrates the revolutionary cry issued Sept. 16, 1810, for Mexico’s freedom from Spain. This call to action took place in the town of Dolores when the Catholic priest, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, encouraged peasants to fight for their rights.
Mexican Independence Day is an annual event that remembers the Grito de Dolores as the revolutionary call that signaled the beginning of the end of Spanish rule and racial discrimination.
After years of revolts throughout Spanish America, the “Cry” or Grito de Dolores launched the Mexican War of Independence.
