Mub>ñoz Rivera fue quizás el exponente más brillante de la tradición liberal democrática del último tercio del siglo XIX en Puerto Rico.
Irrespectivamente de su ideario político, Mub>ñoz Rivera hubiera estado orgulloso -pero quizás no satisfecho-del estado actual de las libertades ciudadanas que disfrutamos hoy en día gracias a la protección que nos brindan la constitución federal como la del Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico.
Estos son legados importantes de la obra de Mub>ñoz Rivera, el periodista, quien como defensor inequívoco de la libertad de prensa en Puerto Rico, sentó las bases para la convivencia democrática y cívica que aún estamos edificando.
