Following the transformative working-class resistance to the military coup against the Second Republic, which began in Spain’s major cities on 19 July 1936, the date took on great significance in the anarchist calendar. Throughout the long decades of exile and underground organising, the CNT and anarchist groups strove to keep its memory alive. This early example of such commemoration was written by Lucía Sánchez Saornil, one of the founders of Mujeres Libres, on the occasion of the second anniversary in 1938, while the war still raged and the revolutionary meaning of 19 July was becoming ever more obscure. The result is both heart-rending and defiant. Originally posted: July 19, 2021 at The Anarchist Book Club Newsletter
