Francisco Ferrer (Barcelona 1859–1909) was a Spanish freethinker, Freemason and libertarian educator. In 1901, he founded the Modern School, a rationalist educational project promoting co-education, social equality, rational teaching, autonomy and mutual aid. It was the first in a network that numbered over a hundred schools in Spain by 1907. It inspired the American modern schools and new educational movements. In 1909, following the events of the ‘Tragic Week’ in Barcelona, he was accused (notably by the Catholic clergy) of being one of its instigators. Sentenced to death on 9 October at the Model Prison by a military court following a sham trial, he was shot on 13 October at Montjuïc. His execution sparked a major international protest movement.
