ALBA Stands in Solidarity
The Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives (ALBA) honors the legacy of the 2800 Americans who offered their lives to fight fascism in the Spanish Civil War over 80 years ago. ALBA wholeheartedly rejects white supremacy and racial inequality. We condemn the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and the systemic police brutality in black communities throughout the United States. ALBA stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and fully supports the protestors who have confronted oppression and injustice.– ALBA Board of Governors
‘We condemn the murder of George Floyd’ is a moral truism. Of course you would condemn the brutal murder of an innocent man! As you would raise your voice against the practice of burning people alive. Or against racial inequality for that matter. Publicly and explicitly condemning an act that nobody in their right mind would applaud, serves no other purpose than to glorify one’s own moral rectitude.
