Che Guevara

All through history, revolutions have changed all of us. They have shaped the way we think and the way we live today. "Always be capable of feeling... any injustice committed against anyone in the world." Che Guevara is the ultimate revolutionary icon and is a symbol of rebellion, nonconformity, and social inequality. He always fought so the common man could be equal. Some call him one of the most perfect men of our century. He showed this throughout his childhood, his college days, his role in the Cuban Revolution, and his revolutionary work in Africa and South America to his death.

Though his birth certificate says he was born June 14, 1928, Ernesto "Che" Guevara, was really born one month before. His mother, Celia de la Serna y Llosa, was really three months into her pregnancy when she was married to Ernesto Guevara Lynch. After there wedding the couple left Buenos Aries for their honeymoon where a doctor they knew delivered him and forged the birth certificate. In true Argentinean fashion they named him after his father. The newly weds didn't give their parents the news until Ernesto was one month old so they would think he was just premature.

Ernesto's parents left the house open to all the neighbors no matter how poor or how rich.

His father was a humble, open-minded man. Both the parents had arguments a lot.

In 1959 Che married Aldia March and together visited Egypt, India, Japan, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Yugoslavia. Upon his return he met with Castro and secretly went to Congo to set off socialist revolutions, not even the CIA knew where he was. After 11 months the revolution was cut short due to the irresponsibilities of the Africans. Che went back to Cuba.

Due to Che's triumphs in the Revolution, he became second only to Fidel Castro in the new government of Cuba. It was a communist government that was strongly anti- imperialist and was independent of the orthodox Moscow-style communism. Che was intent on shutting down ganglords in Cuba and changing the 500,000 Cubans that were unemployed. Che was named a Cuban citizen and was appointed president of Cuba's National Bank. He worked very long hours and signed his name on much of the bills showing his disdain of money. Che later became Cuba's Minister of Industry where he forced out the non-communist out of the government. Che was moving away from Soviet Communism and formally breached with the Soviet Communist when he charged the USSR with being "a tacit ac
