A Live Gathering and Film Premiere
Saturday, December 7th in New York City
Event Begins at 1 PM ET
Followed by Open Discussion and Catered Reception
In late 2023, we sent out a call to the ALBA community asking to hear from the second generation of ALB descendants. We requested short videos from grandchildren of Brigadistas sharing memories of their grandparents and what it meant to carry on the legacy.
Many responded and all those responses are now hosted right here on this webpage, view them below! We decided to take the submitted videos and create a singular product, which will be premiered on Saturday, December 7th this year. This a great opportunity to gather and discuss what it means to preserve the Lincolns’ legacy, the paths that led the Lincolns to Spain, and how we all put their example into action in our lives.
Join us for a viewing of the film premiere and a discussion on the legacy of the Brigadistas in this special event. We look forward to reflecting on the family connections that bind so much of the ALBA community.
Tributes to The Volunteers
Please view these heart-warming and inspiring messages from descendants of heroic Lincoln veterans, most of who are grandchildren of the vet. The vet’s name is listed first, with a link to their bio, and the descendant contributor is listed below the name of “their” vet.
