I would like to take this opportunity to express some sincere and brief words of acknowledgement to my dear colleague and friend, Francisco J. Tovar B.. I must recognize that it poses a challenge, as  the qualities that distinguish his unique journey are multiple, valuable, and exceptional both as a leader, and a human being. I had the privilege of sharing with Francisco some traces of the academic path, where he stood out for his  contributions, purposeful approaches, and teamwork, which certainly led him to secure a place in the roll of honor. But most of all, Francisco is a highly socially aware individual willing to take action to cause a positive impact in the world, not only by advocating on behalf of his beloved people of African descent, but also promoting what has become his passion: a call to action in regards to the evolution of consciousness. This has allowed him to project himself as a recognized leader in the defense and promotion of human rights and personal development locally and hemispherically, with worldwide projection. Francisco has learned to channel these talents into making the world a better place, trascending the mere duties of a Human Rights activist to become a true factor of change wherever he goes. For that and more, I do not hesitate to recommend him publicly, and wish him to promptly see materialized all the success that God has in store for him.
