ALBA announces 2012 Institutes for high school teachers in five states
The second Tampa teachers’ institute included a field trip to the Centro Asturiano, the main center of pro-loyalist activity during the Spanish Civil War in Tampa. During their visit teachers were shown the Republican flag that flew over the building through the end of the war. In addition, they obtained oral histories about activities within the city’s Latin community from former members the local Popular Front Committee: Delia Sanchez, José R. Oural, Aida Gonzalez, Elvira Garcia and Angel Rañon. Not only do teachers expect to use this information in their classes but in several cases they have made plans to invite these local activists to meet with their students.
