Not everybody knows about the Abraham Lincoln Brigades. The brigades that bear his name are a real honor and testament of what he done for the country as far as bringing the north and south together and bringing African-Americans closer to equality in this country. The brigades had black and white men and immigrant and non-immigrant etc. This article has good information. Not everybody knows about the Abraham Lincoln Brigades.

It troubles me that there is no similar contemporary left response to the US invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan and the Israeli genocide in Gaza going on right now. In fact, I noted that most of the people who took your poll would not even attend a rally against the Israeli attacks on Gaza. Incidentally, 1937 was 72 years ago, not nearly 60.
