The liberator of six countries in Latin America, Simón Bolivar is still a tremendously present foundation in South America’s culture. Biographer and literary critic Marie Arana discusses how his vision of democracy is just now beginning to take shape -- and makes the case that he is as relevant as ever.

NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archive because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more viewpoints. Studies show that aggressive and hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; unfortunately, RU-vid's comment moderation tools are simply not up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We'd love to see this change, RU-vid.) So for now, if you'd like to comment on this talk, please use Facebook, Twitter or G+ to discuss with your networks.
