Celebration of Activism

and Lincoln Brigade Monument Rededication

 
After many years of working to rebuild the Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Monunment in San Francisco, it has finally been restored. The monument is a tribute not just to the Lincoln Brigade, but also to the life-long struggle of activism and social justice.
 
This virtual event will include presentations by Isabel Allende, Bill Fletcher, Walter Hood, Susan Schwartzenberg, Catherine Powell, and Brian McWilliams; dramatic readings from the monument text, including writings of Pablo Neruda, Langston Hughes, Harry Bridges, Albert Camus, Martha Gelhorn, and others; music performed by Velina Brown and Dave Rovics; and poetry by Rafael Jesús González and others. Hosted by Richard Bermack.
 
The event will be streamed on the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives Facebook page, September 12, at 2 pm PDT,   https://www.facebook.com/AbrahamLincolnBrigadeArchives/
