Persona Famous- Rigoberta Menchú
Born: January 9, 1959 (Still alive) in a poor family located in the Higlands of Guatemala.
She won the Nobke Peace Prize in 1992 for her social justice and ethnocultural reconciliation work based on respect for the right of Indigenous people in Guatemala. Her childhood consisted of her and her family getting tortured by the Guatemalan Army, where she later defended her rights in Mexico. This impacted the whole country because she put a lot of people out of pain and prevented the next generations from this torture.
