Brothers are the strongest bond in the journey of life.
Admiration, protection and affection are part of the feelings that come together in this bond, and that are commemorated this Thursday.
On this date, not only is it intended to honor blood brothers, but also those who maintain a fraternal relationship.
In Durango, there have been several brothers who have raised the name of the state, from politics, culture and sports.
Here we present some of the many most recognized brothers in the history of Durango.
THE ARRIETA BROTHERS
The Arrieta brothers were originally from Vascogil, Canelas, Durango, at least 13 members of the Arrieta family participated in the Mexican revolution.
The uprising of Francisco I. Madero, carried out on November 20, 1910, had an influence on all the states and regions of the Republic.
In the mountains of Durango, Domingo Arrieta and his brothers were among the first to take up arms. In this feat they were followed by countless neighbors, both from the ravines and from the mountain range itself. He was a member of the anti-reelectionist ranks and in 1910, he spoke out in favor of the Plan of San Luis, launching himself into the fight on November 20th together with his brothers José, Mariano and Eduardo.
Domingo Arrieta came to govern the state of Durango from 1917 to 1920 and was a senator in the period 1936 to 1940.

THE REVUELTAS BROTHERS
There is a family in the history of modern Mexico that contributed the talent of four of its children to the cultural, musical, social and political sphere of the country. José Revueltas and Romana Sánchez are the parents of a family of 12 children, who from a young age were introduced to the world of literature and music, as narrated by María Revueltas, the last Revueltas of the first generation, who died in 2009.
Of those 12 children with the last name Revueltas who played in Santiago Papasquiaro, Durango, four stood out in the artistic life, each one of them in different arts, but all leaving a mark of the last name in Mexico and in the world.
