Brooklyn high school student Iago Macknik-Conde, who last year was named a History Day finalist with a project on the Lincoln Brigade, won the most recent National History Day competition with his research on the contribution of the Spaniard Bernardo de Gálvez to the United States’ independence movement. Profiled in the national Spanish newspaper El País, Macknik-Conde mentioned the formative nature of his work in the ALBA collection. He credits ALBA for his success in a video that can be viewed on ALBA’s YouTube channel.
