Grandchildren of Lincoln Vets Gather in Tribute
The Grands Gathered.
On Saturday, December 7, the ALBA community gathered in Lower Manhattan for “A Grand Tribute”, an event focused on first-person video testimonials of the grandchildren of the antifascist volunteers who fought fascism in Spain. The centerpiece of the event was the world premiere of the film based on their videos, also entitled, A Grand Tribute.
Over seventy friends and family of the Lincoln Brigade veterans attended the celebration of their legacy. Shantha Susman, the granddaughter of Bill Susman, helped to plan the gathering and served as MC, while Rich Rothman and Kate Hendrickson led the panel discussion. Shantha and her mother Sue Susman led the audience in a moving rendition of Spanish Civil War songs.
The 18-minute film, produced by Peter Miller and Amy Linton, can now been viewed on ALBA’s YouTube channel.
