October 7th 1967 - the day that Che GUEVERA, one of the most iconic figures of the world was executed by Bolivian forces. He was an an Argentinian Medical Doctor, who played a significant role in Cuba and across many countries. Guerrillero Heroico  (English: "Heroic Guerrilla Fighter") is an iconic photograph of Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara taken by Alberto Korda. It was captured on March 5, 1960, in Havana, Cuba, at a memorial service for victims of the La Coubre explosion. By the end of the 1960s, the image, in conjunction with Guevara's subsequent actions and eventual execution, helped solidify the leader as a cultural icon. Korda has said that at the moment he shot the picture, he was drawn to Guevara's facial expression, which showed "absolute implacability" as well as anger and pain.
