DESCRIPTION:In the late 1930's, Spain was embroiled in a civil war which prefigured the 
 conflicts of World War II. Approximately 3,000 volunteers from the U.S. 
 joined a special unit fighting on the Republican side against the fascists 
 and Nazis. They were called the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Only one-half 
 survived the war and returned.\n\nForever Activists explores the subsequent 
 careers of a number of those who fought in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, 
 including a 50th anniversary reunion in Spain in 1986. Over the years, they 
 were active participants in the civil rights struggles, the peace movement, 
 the anti-colonial movement, anti-Vietnam war, and anti-Iraq war. The 
 Brigade was the first, fully integrated American fighting force with 
 African officers.\n\nGuest speakers will include; Peter Hartzman, whose 
 mother was a nurse, and father, an ambulance driver, in the Abraham Lincoln 
 Brigade; Peter Carroll, historian & Board member of Abraham Lincoln Brigade 
 Archives; Nancy and Len Tsou, researchers and authors dedicated to 
 chronicling the Chinese and other internationals who came to Spain to fight 
 with the International Brigades.\n\nPeter will also talk about the 
 restoration of the largest U.S. monument dedicated to the volunteers who 
 fought fascism in Spain, (at the end of San Francisco's Market St.), which 
 is near completion, and the rededication ceremonial event scheduled for May 
 3rd\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2020/02/10/18830598.php
