March 30: The Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives and the Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade will unveil and dedicate a monument to these
courageous anti-fascist fighters, many of whom gave their limbs and lives for the cause of democracy in Spain. The fruit of over ten years of planning and wading through government bureaucracy, this long-overdue tribute will
finally be installed on The Embarcadero, in San Francisco, a site where several hundred people, both locals and tourists, walk by every day. The
monument includes a 6-foot image of Robeson, with text about his support for the democratic forces during the Spanish Civil War.

Paul Robeson picture

"As a direct result of his many-splendored efforts, all people today are enriched and enlightened. And that is why his memory must be kept alive. His songs remembered. His deeds recounted. In measure that this is done, we more quickly learn to respect the selfless contributions of great people of all races and hasten that world of peace, brotherhood and love for which humankind has yearned from the caves
 of yesteryear to the cities of tomorrow."

Professor Don Wheeldin, Los Angeles, April 1978 (on the occasion of the celebration of the 80th birthday of Paul Robeson)
