ABC is the name of the government-run daycare center that went up in flames in northern Mexico in 2009, and 49 is the number of children who died there. None of the 19 people charged in the tragedy has served a day in prison.

On the sidewalk outside the Mexican Social Security Institute, like alphabet blocks stacked in a playroom, there's a large metal installation of the letters ABC and the number 49, painted in bright pink, blue and green that evoke the joy of childhood.

Elsewhere, a purple circle with a cross underneath, the internationally recognized symbol for the female sex, and a raised, clenched fist demand"no more killings of women." At its base, there's a somber garden of pink crosses bearing the names of Mexican states. The blaze at the ABC daycare in Hermosillo, Sonora state was seen as an avoidable tragedy that happened due to negligence. There were no smoke detectors or fire extinguishers at the facility, and the emergency exit was jammed.

On the anniversary, the parents drilled holes into the sidewalk to add plaques with names, birthdates and 25 bronze replicas of their children's shoes. Then they cut down a black banner draped across the Social Security Institute's front door, saying its commemoration of the deaths was insulting when those presumably responsible remained free.
