Francisco Ferrer

January 14, 1859 – October 13, 1909

Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia was a Spanish free-thinker and anarchist whose educational endeavors made him an influential figure. His Modern School was founded on radical social values, seeking a distinct approach to educating the middle classes. Despite persecution and ultimately a tragic end, his influence extended beyond Spain. His legacy endures through the Modern Schools he inspired and in the ideals of those who saw in his work a call for freedom.
