A little cartoon from ViVe TV, in which the great players of Latin American history unite in the shade of trees on the Venezuelan plains. Bolívar is there, as are Allende, Martí, Tupac Katari, Che…and who’s that woman holding out her hand? That’s Chavecito’s biggest hero of all — his beloved grandmother, Rosa Inés, who raised him while his parents worked, and taught him to be the caring humanitarian he became.
Hasta siempre, Comandante.
Fear doesn't travel well; just as it can warp judgment, its absence can diminish memory's truth. What terrifies one generation is likely to bring only a puzzled smile to the next. --Arthur Miller, "Why I Wrote 'The Crucible'", The New Yorker, October 21, 1996
