Che Guevara: The Face That Lead a Revolution

Born in Rosario, Argentina, Ernesto “Che” Guevara led a cocooned life until he set off on his famous motorcycle journey across South America during his days in medical school. Radicalized by the poverty, hunger & disease that he witnessed, Che felt he needed to join the arena of armed struggle to better help the people. He was executed by the Bolivian forces at the mere age of 39. Why does his photo, clicked by Cuban photographer Alberto Korda, and its graphic portrait, created by Jim Fitzpatrick, still stand as a symbol of revolution worldwide?
