April in the Aljube Museum
In April, we invoke in the Museum the resistants and liberators, in their dual condition as freedom fighters, and as ordinary women and men who insist on remembering their time as the time of all men – because for all of them almost everything changed with the Carnation Revolution, except their deep conviction that Freedom is a precious gift that is won every day – yesterday in the struggle against the dictatorship, today and tomorrow in the continuous aspiration of improvement of the Democracy. Therefore, in the Aljube Museum, April belongs to everyone.
