Grandchildren Invite Community to Join Musical Event in December
The 2024 Grands gathering in New York City.
This year’s annual December gathering in New York City of Lincoln Brigade “Grands”—roughly the third generation of descendants—will have a musical theme. Tentatively titled Music of the Movement, the December 12 gathering hopes to highlight the importance of music to our shared history. As part of this initiative, the organizers are inviting everyone to share a brief video of themselves singing sections of the Internationale. These recordings will be edited into a video montage showcasing multiple generations of the ALBA community standing together to honor the legacy of the volunteers and the important work needed today.
