The Bolivarian Revolution in Bloomington, MN

Known throughout Latin America as
El Libertador
, Venezuelan revolutionary Simón Bolívar was one of the most important leaders in the wars of independence from Spain. Recently revived by Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez for his own political program–which he has called ‘the Bolívarian Revolution’–these galvanizing words remain as relevant for current political and social struggles as they were in Bolivar’s own day.
