The Front Lines of Social Change juxtaposes archival photos of the vets during the Spanish Civil War with contemporary portraits of them in their senior years, taken by Richard Bermack in the 1980s and 1990s. Accompanying text and photos document their lifelong journeys of activism, from the Spanish Civil War through the repression of the McCarthy era, the labor and civil rights movements, and protests against the VietNam War, US intervention in Latin America, and the Gulf Wars. It demonstrates how their resolve to fight for a better world gave their lives meaning, a timely message for young people today.
