'La Retaguardia de Tampa': The Spanish Civil War and its impact on Florida and U.S. History

ALBA, in cooperation with Departments of History and Social Sciences of the University of South Florida, organized an ALBA Summer Teachers Institute in Tampa, Florida, from July 19-23, 2010.  This summer institute focuses on the strong support for the Spanish Republic among the city’s Cuban, Spanish and Italian communities. The July, 2010 application and directions for applying can be found here.  A full description and schedule is available in our brochure.
