In this clip, Hentoff describes the telling encounter he had when he met Ernesto "Che" Guevara in the late 1950s. Video produced by Caleb O. Brown and Austin Bragg.
Nat Hentoff is one of the foremost authorities on the First Amendment. While his books and articles regularly defend the rights of Americans to think and speak freely, he also explores our freedoms under the rest of the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment by showing how Supreme Court and local legislative decisions affect the lives of ordinary Americans. Hentoff's column, Sweet Land of Liberty, has been distributed by the United Feature Syndicate since 1992.
Hentoff has earned numerous awards and is a widely acknowledged defender of civil liberties. In 1980, he was awarded an American Bar Association Silver Gavel Award for his coverage of the law and criminal justice in his columns. In 1983, the American Library Association awarded him the Imroth Award for Intellectual Freedom. In 1995, he received the National Press Foundation Award for Distinguished Contributions to Journalism, and in 1999, he was a Pulitzer finalist for commentary.
Hentoff was a columnist and staff writer with The Village Voice for 51 years, from 1957 until 2008. A jazz expert, Hentoff writes on music for The Wall Street Journal and Jazz Times.
Hentoff has lectured at many colleges, universities, law schools, elementary, middle and high schools, and has taught courses in journalism and the Constitution at Princeton University and New York University. Mr. Hentoff serves on the Board of Advisors of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (F.I.R.E.) and is on the steering committee of the Reporters' Committee for the Freedom of the Press. A native of Boston, he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in education and was a Fulbright Fellow at the Sorbonne in Paris in 1950. He did graduate work at Harvard University, received his B.A. with highest honors from Northeastern University and was awarded an honorary doctorate of law from Northeastern in 1985.

Only way to avoid bloodshed is the tyrants back off and realize their necks are on the line(they will not), or we have MASSIVE demonstrations with so many people they are not able to contain the word of ThePeople... otherwise, we all go thru the same old conflict that they have created for us... to continue to keep us in debt... If you or I printed money we would be in jail... but those bastards are exempt!!! WTF! are you all stupid!!! and they name their private banks FEDERAL!!! clue!!!???

If Che was still here he would show us the way by executing the fascists on Wall Street and the quack, wack jobs at the Cato Institute. Taking out the human garbage on this earth. These people are traitors and want to turn America into a Plutocracy. Don't fall for their bullshit.
-
Yes he had war criminals executed, boo fucking hoo.
-
Long live the legacy of Ernesto geuvara!
P.S- funny hearing an american talking about capital punishment..
-
Che's a complicated figure, not so black and white as people paint him as. You don't have to be liberal or conservative to realize that. Most revolutionaries have their positives and negatives.
-
Che spent his life fighting revolutions all over the world when he could have lived a cushy life as a doctor back home. All you haters support the special interest groups that screw you just so you can keep your shitty jobs and live pay check to pay check.

Che Guevara is not worthy enough to be on a t-shirt. Toilet paper, on the other hand...
