Che Guevara
An Argentine doctor whose journey across Latin America by motorcycle turned into a political conversion; with Fidel Castro he brought the Cuban revolution to power in 1959 and became minister of industry. Leaving his posts, he went to raise revolt in the Congo and Bolivia, where he was captured and shot in October 1967.
Born in Rosario on 14 June 1928 at 03:05. The date is disputed: by family tradition he was born a month earlier, on 14 May, and the certificate was altered to conceal that his mother had conceived before the wedding; the catalogue keeps to the recorded date.
