The veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade were courageous men and women who participated in the Spanish Civil War in the fight against fascist aggression in Europe. In 1979, together with academic scholars, writers, filmmakers and cultural workers, the veterans established ALBA to awaken public consciousness to historical issues of the 20th century that are rarely presented in secondary and higher education curricula in the United States.
Through its continually expanding archival collections in exhibitions, educational programs, publications, and performances, ALBA preserves the legacy of activism and commitment as an inspiration for present and future generations in working effectively toward a better and more just society.
This, the ALBA website, is fast becoming the leading web resource of information on the Spanish Civil War and its legacy, and the relationship of the importance of historical principals of individual dedication to social justice in today's society. So take a look, join our Listserve, study our education modules, keep abreast of the latest news and events. Back issues of The Volunteer, ALBA's award-winning quarterly news journal, are online and available for your information and education.
This is an exciting time for ALBA. As we approach our 28th anniversary we are finding more success than ever before in promoting the anti-fascist, anti-racist traditions of the veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. And we want you to be a part of this.
If you have comments or questions, please contact Anne Taibleson, ALBA's Executive Director, at ataibleson@alba-valb.org.
Thank you for your visit.
