Fundación Luis Muñoz Marín Discursos Muñoz Rivera era muy exigente con los aspirantes a periodistas, y de hecho aborrecía a cualquier señorito que (y cito), 3porque borroneó tres comunicados incorrectos, porque leyó cinco noveluchas cursis, se juzga con capacidad bastante para saltar al palenque, rasguear cuartillas, y amenazarcon sus críticas a cuantos seres pueblan el universo2. Muñoz Rivera a pesar de ser autonomista era un agudo observador de la realidad política y social del Puerto Rico decimonónico y muchas de sus observaciones estaban desprovistas del matiz político y sí cargados con una gran urgencia cívica. Muñoz Rivera también fue partícipe de un desarrollo sin precedentes de los periódicos de la época, algo que celebró en varios editoriales por razones obvias: mayores eran las oportunidades para exponer los atropellos e injusticias del régimen colonial. www.flmm.com /pags_nuevas_folder/discursos_folder/dis_ferre.html   (2539 words)

Fundación Luis Muñoz Marín Discursos Qué gran ejemplo nos legó Luis Muñoz Rivera, el patriota que nunca sacrificó a Puerto Rico por sus preferencias ideológicas o teorías abstractas. Muñoz Rivera entendió que las luchas intestinas del autonomismo no llevarían a nada y que la única manera de lograr un verdadero cambio en el "status" político de Puerto Rico era acudir con una voz unida y sensata a la metrópolis y lograr un compromiso con los líderes políticos de España. En nuestra historia, Muñoz Rivera fue sin duda esa figura; consciente de la utopía, se supo responsable de lograr lo posible, lo alcanzable, lo que era mejor para su pueblo. www.flmm.com /pags_nuevas_folder/discursos_folder/discursos_vila.html   (3164 words)

GUILLERMO MOSCOSO, "CLARIFYING COMMONWEALTH, PLEBISCITE AND REFERENDUM" Efforts by Muñoz Rivera to obtain U.S. citizenship for Puerto Ricans intensified while he was the resident commissioner for Puerto Rico in Washington from 1910 to 1916. On May 5, 1916, Muñoz Rivera delivered a memorable speech in the U.S. House of Representatives where the Jones Bill, proposing U.S. citizenship for Puerto Ricans, was being discussed.

PUERTO RICO HERALD: 50 Years of Commonwealth On that day in 1952, Governor Luis Muñoz Marin formally proclaimed a new Constitution for the island, which would henceforth be called the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. As early as 1954, Muñoz Marin himself was calling for improvements to the Commonwealth Constitution, launching a PDP movement to "enhance" the Constitution that has continued, with less and less success, to the current administration of Governor Sila Calderon.
