On this day in 1964, the Mexican government ratified the Chamizal Convention. (It had been ratified in the U.S. just a few weeks earlier.) Though a net gain of only 437 acres, the return of the Chamizal lands marked a symbolic victory for Mexico and a cause for celebration. Songs such as this one captured the spirit of the event across the border from the place where Chamizal National Memorial would eventually stand. - gh https://youtube/watch?v=gSf7kuABOsQ
