Histórico
Dr. Dysis Guira was born in Santiago de Cuba in 1929. Her mother, Ciana Valdés Roig, was a poet and Spanish professor from Pinar del Rio province. Guira had at least one sibling, a younger brother named Emilio. Guira is most known for being a leader of the Federación Estudiantil Universitaria (FEU) and Directorio Revolucionario de Cuba (DRC) during the Cuban Revolution. She worked in a soap factory until leaving in 1957 to join the revolutionary movement against the Batista government in Havana after she was personally impacted by the violence perpetrated by the government at that time when her fiancé, Joe Westbrook Rosales, was assassinated for his revolutionary activities with the FEU and DRC on April 20th, 1957, as part of the “Humboldt 7.”
Guira subsequently went into exile in South America, first to Chile, then Argentina and Uruguay. She continued her work with the 26th of July Movement and was commissioned by the DRC to work as a delegate in South America, traveling and spreading awareness through local news outlets and organizations of the revolutionary movements against the Batista government. She worked closely with the FEU in Uruguay and the Parliament in Montevideo as well as the United Nations to seek a peaceful end to the conflict in Cuba. In 1957, interviews given by Guira appeared in many newspapers including El País, Vanguardia, Noticias gráficas, El tambor radical, El laborista, and El tiempo.
