Robert Reid
Dr. Robert Reid was a Dominican pediatrician known for his commitment to democracy and opposition to the Trujillo dictatorship. He trained at the National Children's Hospital in Washington, D.C., where he developed a strong friendship with fellow Dominican José Rafael Puig. Reid's life took a tragic turn when he was implicated in the assassination plot against Trujillo, leading to his suicide during intense interrogations. Recent CIA declassified documents have brought renewed attention to his legacy as a martyr for democracy.
