At Manuel Valdes Rodriguez Municipal Primary School in Havana, Cuba, school children shows their patriotism by saluting the flag and singing the national anthem before going to their classrooms in the morning. The anthem was written during the Independence War and says to die for the motherland is to live. Schoolchildren wear red kerchiefs and are referred to as pioneers, an organization founded to encourage the values of education and social responsibility among children and adolescents. Many go on to join the Young Communist League. (Photo by Sarah L. Voisin/The Washington Post)
