Che Guevara killed in Bolivia

1967

After leaving Cuba to foment revolution elsewhere, Ernesto Che Guevara was tracked down in a Bolivian valley by CIA-trained rangers, captured, and shot the next day in a rural schoolhouse. He was thirty-nine. Before he died he stared at his executioner and said, Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man. His face became a T-shirt.
