Young America's Foundation is celebrating Freedom Week with this new poster of Che Guevara:

The purpose of the poster is explained by YAF's Patrick X. Coyle:

"Che is one of the heroes that the left idolizes," said Patrick X. Coyle, vice president of YAF. "But a lot of kids don't know anything about him. We thought this would be a great way to highlight his atrocities." ...

"In fact, collectivist regimes, according to 'The Black Book of Communism,' murdered more than 100 million people worldwide in the 20th century," he said.

The Che poster was the brainchild of YAF President Ron Robinson and created by designer Jonathan Briggs.

"We worked with Umberto Fontova, author of 'Exposing the Real Che Guevara and the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him,' and he helped us acquire the images" of victims of Cuban communism, Mr. Coyle said.

Umberto Fontova is a featured speaker for Freedom Week, appearing Monday at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte and Tuesday at Florida State University.

Other YAF-sponsored speakers this week include Dinesh D'Sousa (Monday at Indiana Wesleyan, Tuesday at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Wednesday at Northwestern, and Thursday at the University of Texas), as well as Ken Starr (Monday at Wake Forest), Ben Stein (Tuesday at Indiana), Tammy Bruce (Wednesday at Penn State), Star Parker (Wednesday at Berkeley), John Ashcroft (Wednesday at Hampden-Sydney), Herman Cain (Thursday at Harding) and Mike Adams (Thursday at University of North Carolina-Charlotte).
