During the war, which was fought to rid dictator Porfirio Diaz of power, he was the leader of the war in Northern Mexico and the hero of the battle of Ojinaga. 32 He was uncapturable during the war. The use of this poster in the Chicano movement embodied the spirit of revolution and resistance of Pancho Villa.
