 Abstract:  Morris and Elanor Stamm were labor, peace, civil rights and political activists from Cleveland, Ohio. Morris Stamm emigrated from Russia and came to Cleveland in 1916, where he was a laborer for 61 years. He joined the Communist Party in 1928 and was a shopfloor organizer for the United Electrical Workers in the Cleveland area. Stamm fought as a foot soldier with the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in the Spanish Civil War from 1937-1938. He married Eleanor Ginsberg in 1940. In the 1970s, Morris and Eleanor led the Cleveland Committee for a Democratic Spain, and were highly involved in the Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. The collection consists of correspondence between Morris Stamm and other members of the Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives. Included are letters relating to the Committee for Black Volunteers in the Spanish Civil War and the archives of the American Medical Bureau to Aid Spanish Democracy, as well as issues of Volunteer for Liberty, organ of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, and The Volunteer, organ of the Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Biographical material and newspaper clippings pertaining to the Stamms are also included, together with newsletters of the Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute and correspondence with film makers re: film projects about the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and radicals in the early labor movements. The collection is a good source of information on the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and the Spanish Civil War, and also reflects the ongoing involvement of the Stamms in civil rights and socialist activities.
