Father Miguel Hidalgo
he wanted freedom for mexico
Father Miguel Hidalgo
Born in 1753, Father Miguel was already in his mid-fifties when he issued his famous Cry of Dolores. He was by then a distinguished priest, well-versed in theology and religion and a pillar of the Dolores community. He certainly didn't fit the modern stereotype of a wild-eyed, young revolutionary angry at the world!
