#18: Rigoberto López Pérez
A brilliant young Nicaraguan poet sacrifice-gifted his own life to dismantle an oppressive, long-standing Central American dictatorship. Rigoberto López Pérez managed to infiltrate a high-profile party, shooting Anastasio Somoza García multiple times before being instantly cut down by a barrage of guards’ bullets. His violent act inspired an entire generation of revolutionary resistance across the country.
