The photo “Guerrillero Heroico,” showing an implacable Che Guevera, was captured by photographer Alberto Korda #OTD in 1960. The photo went on to become one of the most reproduced and repurposed photos in history. After Guevara’s murder in 1967, an enlarged poster of the photo hung behind Fidel Castro as he eulogized Guevara in front of a crowd of over a million people.
