#PeoplesHistory | On this day in 1936, fascist forces executed Federico García Lorca at the dawn of the Spanish Civil War. The Spanish writer, poet, and socialist, was a prominent voice in Spain's literary scene but faced significant challenges due to his political views and being gay. His body was never recovered, nor were the motives for his assassination revealed.
