Argentina unveils Guevara tribute


This is partly a selfish post, because I found the article in my hometown Kansas City Star. :)

But isn't an article about Che Guevara always fascinating? (Perhaps not.)

Guevara is finally getting a statue tribute in his home country of Argentina.

Specifically, the town where he was born, Rosario, Argentina, unveiled a 13-foot statue of the famous revolutionary.

The country has mixed feelings about producing such a controversial figure, but the unveiling of the statue, which shows a beret-clad Guevara, attracted three of his children and veterans of the Cuban Revolution.
