Description
Historian James Horton explores the racial aspects of the Bonus Army and how veteran status became a unifying factor despite socialized segregation in the 1930's. Horton discusses how the concept of the New Negro and exposure to integrated European societies during WWI created a generation of African American veterans unwilling to put up with white superiority back home. Integration in the Bonus Expeditionary Forces become a point of contention against the heavily segregated U.S. Army.
