We were honoured to lead our Spanish Civil War tour for the daughter of an International Brigade volunteer from the USA, Sidney Linn. It is always a moving and meaningful tour for us, but even more so when we do it for a relative of one of those incredibly brave and committed anti fascists and we share personal stories about them. Thank you, Sidney Linn for your service in Spain to help the Spanish Republic and fight the evil of Fascism in 1937!! We will carry the legacy of the International Brigades in our hearts forever. #acrossmadrid #weareantifascist #lincolnbrigade #spanishcivilwar #welovethelnternationalBrigades #wearetherealdeal #spanishcivilwartours #respectforantifascists #standuptofascism #saynotofascism #spanishrepublic #historymatters #wearenotneutral #proudlypartisan #internationalsolidarity #internationalbrigades #alwaysinourhearts #fightingHitler #fightingMussolini #fightingFranco #spanishholocaust ❤💛💜✊🏼✊🏾✊🏻✊🏿👏👏👏 (at Madrid, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2TtW7iocAP/?igshid=1t9wh0reijkap

#RealSuperHero #LincolnBrigade Mussolini, seeking to create an “Italian Empire” in Africa, threw his army and air force against Ethiopia in October 1935. Fascist planes bombed and dropped poison gas on villages. Emperor Haile Selassie turned to the League of Nations for help. and speaking in his native Amharic described fascist air and chemical attacks on his African people. He warned “international morality” is “at stake.” He was ignored. However, Black citizens in the distant United States were aroused to help Ethiopia. Black men trained for military action–an estimated 8,000 in Chicago, 5,000 in Detroit, 2,000 in Kansas City. In New York City, where a thousand men drilled, nurse Salaria Kea of Harlem Hospital collected funds that sent a 75-bed hospital and two tons of medical supplies to Ethiopia. W. E. B. Du Bois and Paul Robeson addressed a “Harlem League Against War and Fascism” rally and A. Philip Randolph linked Mussolini’s invasion to “the terrible repression of African Americans.
