 revolution and revolt in dictatorships across the Middle East and North 
 Africa, yet an American may be executed, or at best face life in prison, 
 for being the primary whistleblower.”\n\nTickets are $22.50 in advance,

 Lincoln Brigade, Americans who volunteered to fight against Franco's 
 fascists in the Spanish Civil War. Guest speaker Jeff Paterson of Courage

 War songs with musicians Bruce Barthol, Tony Marcus, Randy Craig, Barrett 
 Nelson, and Heather Bridger, and images of courage and resistance by 
 Richard Bermack, documentary photographer and author of The Front Lines of 
 Social Change: Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade.\n\nThe Abraham 
 Lincoln Brigade refers to the more than 3000 volunteers from the United 
 States who fought for Spanish Republican forces against fascists starting 
 in 1936. The brigade's bravery in battle and high casualty rate made them 
 heroic figures to all people opposing the rise of fascism.\n\nThe Abraham 
 Lincoln Brigade Archives (ALBA) is a non-profit educational organization 
 dedicated to promoting public awareness, research, and discussion about the 
 Spanish Civil War and the American volunteers who risked their lives to 
 fight fascism in Spain.\n\n\nDuring the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), almost 
 forty thousand men and women from fifty-two countries, including 2,800 
 Americans, traveled to Spain to join the International Brigades to help 
 fight fascism. The U.S. volunteers served in various units (medical, combat 
 and transportation) and came to be known collectively as the Abraham 
 Lincoln Brigade.\n\nThe Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives (ALBA) is a 
 non-profit educational organization dedicated to promoting public 
 awareness, research, and discussion about the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) 
 and the American volunteers who risked their lives to fight fascism in

 University's Tamiment Library, ALBA presents exhibitions, publications, 
 performances, and educational programs related to the war and its 
 historical, political, artistic, and biographical significance.  With these 
 activities, ALBA preserves the legacy of progressive activism of the 
 Abraham Lincoln Brigade as an inspiration for present and future
