Sebastián Francisco de Miranda
Sebastián Francisco de Miranda (1750-1816) was a Venezuelan revolutionary and a key figure in the early struggles for independence in Latin America. Often hailed as the 'Precursor' of independence movements, Miranda was instrumental in advocating for a united Spanish America free from colonial rule. His vision encompassed not only Venezuela but also the broader aspirations of liberty and democracy across the continent. He was a soldier and a diplomat, having served in the French and American revolutions, and is celebrated for his efforts to promote equality and civil rights. Despite his eventual capture and death in a Spanish prison, Miranda's legacy endures as a symbol of hope for freedom and justice in Venezuela and beyond.
