Rómulo Ernesto Betancourt Bello (22 February 1908 – 28 September 1981); known as "The Father of Venezuelan Democracy", was President of Venezuela from 1945 to 1948 and again from 1959 to 1964, as well as leader of Acción Democrática, Venezuela's dominant political party in the 20th century. Betancourt, one of Venezuela's most important political figures, led a tumultuous and highly controversial career in Latin American politics. Periods of exile brought Betancourt in contact with various Latin American countries as well as the United States, securing his legacy as one of the most prominent international leaders to emerge from 20th-century Latin America. Scholars credit Betancourt as the Founding Father of modern democratic Venezuela.

Orlando Fals Borda (Barranquilla, 11 de julio de 1925 - Bogotá, 12 de agosto de 2008) fue un Investigador y sociólogo colombiano. (...) El recorrido fundamental de la obra de Fals Borda está dado en la conjunción de la indagación sociológica con el compromiso político en beneficio de los "sectores populares" (campesinos y proletariado agrícola en lo fundamental), en cuya "praxis" postula la "investigación-acción participativa". Su obra es consultada en todas partes, al considerarse que activa innovaciones metodológicas en la práctica sociológica.
