To celebrate the birthdays of the Bronze Titan and the Heroic Guerrilla, this Saturday [on 14th of June when both Comandante Ernesto Che Guevara (1928) and General Antonio Maceo Grajales (1845) were born] young people from Cuba and from other countries are going to climb mountains  in their own neighbourhood to pay homage to the two heroes of Cuba.

Girls and boys from the Consejo de Jóvenes Plaza Martiana, el Movimiento Juvenil Martiano, la Brigada de Instructores de Arte José Martí, la Federación de Estudiantes de la Enseñanza Media, la Federación Estudiantil Universitaria and other youth organisations are going to pay homage.
At noon, when all the climbers reach the top, they are going to sing the national anthem. Each group is going to keep contact with the others by the help of radiolovers.

In Cuba the following places will be climbed: el Cerro de Cabras (Pinar del Río), Tetas de Managua (La Habana), Loma del Grillo (Mayabeque), Pan de Guajaibón (Artemisa), Pan de Matanzas (Matanzas), Loma del Capiro (Villa Clara), Pico San Juan (Cienfuegos), Caballete de Casas (Sancti Spíritus), Pico 28 de Enero (Ciego de Ávila), Cerro Tuabaquey (Camagüey), Cerro de Caisimú (Las Tunas), Pico Cristal (Holguín), Pico Caracas (Granma), la Gran Piedra (Santiago de Cuba), Alto de Pavano (Guantánamo) and Alto La Cañada (Isla de la Juventud).

My dear friend, Aiya, showed me an interesting site.
If you want to listen to Che Guevara's speech that he made at the UN Assembly on 11th of December 1964 in New York, while reading the original Spanish text and its English translation, then please click here: [teach that speech]



Thank you so much, Aiya, for the link!
 

Prensa Latina is the voice of the voiceless in the neoliberal capitalist system, said today Brazilian liberation theologian Frei Betto, in a note sent to the agency''s headquarters in Panama for the 55th anniversary of that Latin American agency news.The outstanding intellectual and Brazilian Dominican friar expressed that over five decades Prensa Latina has been in favor of sovereignty and self-determination in Cuba, human rights of the poor in Latin America and the Caribbean, social movements and libertarian utopias.

Founded by Che Guevara, this combative news agency has the honor to include among its collaborators Gabriel García Márquez, Eduardo Galeano, Juan Gelman and many other Latin American intellectuals and artists.

Although aggressive imperialist policy of the U.S. government, especially now through the Zunzuneo program, try to discredit it, Prensa Latina resists as the Cuban people resisted the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961.

He stated that the agency workers continue resisting against the onslaught to destabilize the Cuban Revolution, and praises Prensa Latina for being the voice of the voiceless in neoliberal media.

 A few days ago I received a book, Daniel James's biography about Che Guevara.
All I know about it is that it was written a little time after Che's death so it must contain some factual errors as a lot of information about him has been found out only after the 1990s.
I have read only a few pages so far, but it sounds ineresting, especially after reading the Introduction. Maybe some of you have already known this book - or you are going to feel like reading it.

Here is what Amazon writes about the book:
The controversial life and career of Ernesto Ché Guevara (1928-1967) has earned the revolutionary leader admirers and detractors across the world. In his critical biography, Daniel James penetrates the myths that have grown up around Guevara since his death. The biography carefully analyzes the Cold War situations in which Guevara lived and fought, and which turned the young medical student into a guerilla and political theoretician. Ché Guevara: A Biography includes interviews with Guevara's first wife, and extensive information on the revolutionary's early years and family life lacking in other biographies. James also discusses Guevara's actions in Cuba as a leader in the rebel army of Fidel Castro, covering in detail Guevara's military victories, his post-war executions of anti-Castro prisoners, and his criticism of Soviet Communism. This unique and unsparing portrait of Guevara includes and an in-depth examination of his last guerilla campaign in Bolivia.

And here is a part of the Introduction, written by Henry Butterfield Ryan:
What makes James's book interesting is that it gives readers not only a glimpse of a political attitude from the 1960s that is often overlooked, but also a view of Guevara that they will not get elsewhere. James's biography was, and remains, remarkable because of its point of view. He was frankly out to debunk Guevara's Myth.
 

Commemorating the 86th anniversary of Che Guevara's birthday, En el marco del ciclo de Cine Cubano y videos debate, the Grupo Bariloche de Solidaridad con Cuba (the Bariloche Group of Solidarity with Cuba) and Radio Nacional Bariloche decided to screen a documentary film about the Argentinian revolutionary's life.
The screening takes place on 4th June at 8 p.m.

The 84-minute-long film, titled "Che, un hombre de este mundo" (Che, a man of this world), will be shown in the auditorium of Radio Nacional Bariloche, la Avenida 12 de Octubre 2421.

The organisers described the film of Marcelo Schapces as “a portrait of Che Guevara, built from the voices of all those people who accompanied him in his fight, his life and his ideals. It gives a real dimension to the figure of an extraordinary man, who, after all, was only a man”.

The entry is free.
