You can't really choose just one...there are sooo many people that have put latin american people on the map....in the past, as much as today....
everyone from Che...to Frida....to Eva Peron....to John Leguizamo...and yeah...even Jennifer Lopez.... GOOD GOD!! Even Cheech.... Los del Mar..ajajajja and Maradona.... (and many many many more....)

i would say bolivar or san martin, but they were mostly concerned with independence and not changing the social structures in our countries as guevara intended...i would also have to say castro, rigoberta menchu, mercedez sosa an now our beloved chavez
I would have to go with Fidel, but only for this century. Even Che was inspired by el barbudo. I might not agree 100% with all the things he's done, but I believe he's the greatest latin american alive right now. In a close second, I'll have to say Rigoberta Menchu.
Great choice BUFFSTER!!! It was a toss up for me and your point about Che being inspired by Fidel is soooo true!!!

I don't think there is one person that all latin american countries can regard as the greatest. I think there are many great latin americans, but I can't think of a single one that could be regarded as the greatest one ever.
Maybe I'll go with Baina on this one. Simon Bolivar.
Wow 2 many 2 choose from, but I will, I will say Arsobispo Arnulfo Romero.
Why, cause he was the voice of the Innocent and the poor in a time in my country were violence and guns were the answer 2 my country's social problems, he show us by standing up and voicing our opinions 2 the government you could make a difference in my country.
Daeveed it's not the same at all! This is one man or woman that you consider to be the absolute all around best Latin American in history and why!! Different from Ladybugs post. What is your answer???

yep just one...ignore Pancho he is not following the rules
okay then I really have to think about it...
b/c just ONE? thats a pretty big deal to be named THEE greatest ever. I would nominate myself, but no need to point out the obvious... Im a modest girl....
But anyways... give me a few to think about who I would consider the greatest and I'll post it in a bit...
does it apply to all as in---in sports, arts, music?
