  • 31 MARCH 2015 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: The statue of Rama V, also known as King Chulalongkorn, located on the Royal Plaza in front of Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall in Dusit Palace, Dusit. On 24 June 1932, the plaza and the throne hall witnessed one of the most important events in Thai history as the People's Party staged a bloodless revolution that transformed the country from absolute monarchy to democratic constitutional monarchy. The plaza was the rally site for People's Party supporters demanding the constitution. The first permanent constitution was ceremoniously granted in the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall on 10 December 1932.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • JULY 19, 2000 - TOLUCA, MEXICO, MEXICO: A woman walks through the "Portales"  in the historic section of Toluca, Mexico, July 19, 2000. Life in Toluca, which is at an altitude of 8,500 feet with daily high temperatures in the 60's and 70's, does not prepare people who come to the US illegally for the brutal conditions of the Sonoran desert. Roberto Olvera Morales, of Toluca, died in the desert west of Douglas, AZ, when he tried to enter the US illegally with Maria Ordaz and her son. Morales was originally from Toluca, about 50 miles from Mexico City, where he worked with his mother at a taco stand. Morales was just one of the more than 150 Mexicans who died in the southwestern US trying to get into the United States without the proper immigration documents during the summer of 2000. Most died of heat exhaustion or thirst in the deserts that span the US/Mexico border, a region where daily high temperatures in the summer frequently soar to over 120 degrees Fahrenheit.  © Jack Kurtz  BORDER  IMMIGRANTS  POVERTY  HUMAN RIGHTS  FAMILY  WEATHER  FRONTERA  MIGRANTES  FAMILIA
