“The Spanish people are
really wonderful. They always crowd around you asking questions, and showing
the greatest kindness to you. They have no prejudice, and I really feel no
different between them and myself. Here I am treated as one of them. I like
this place,” wrote Alphaeus Prowell
an African American in Spain fighting in the Spanish Civil War in 1937.
These
extraordinary letters written by Prowell captured the heart and soul of his war
experience. They also reveal the man behind the revolutionary, and tell of the
women he loved and left behind for a cause.
