Remembering Che

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the death of legendary Marxist revolutionary leader Ernesto “Che” Guevara, seen above at the Havana airport with his parents, Celia de la Serna and Ernesto Guevara Lynch, upon their arrival in 1959. Guevara, who was born in Argentina in 1928, was a charismatic doctor who fought with Fidel Castro to overthrow Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista and was Cuba’s second most influential leader until he returned to South America to foment revolution. He was killed in Bolivia, some say with CIA complicity.
