EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a significant moment in American history - the Bonus Expeditionary Force Camp in Washington, D. C. during 1932. Known as Camp Marks, this encampment was built by war veterans who formed the Bonus Army to demand their promised bonuses for their service during World War I. In this historic image, we see a crowd of people gathered at the campsite, with soldiers and tents scattered across the landscape. The monochromatic tones add depth and intensity to the scene, emphasizing the gravity of the social issues being protested. The Bonus Marchers, comprised of World War I veterans facing economic hardships during the Great Depression, took to peaceful demonstrations to advocate for their rightful compensation. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their struggle and determination. As we observe this snapshot from our nation's past, it is impossible not to be moved by these brave individuals who fought for their rights amidst challenging circumstances. Their presence against Washington's backdrop symbolizes both resilience and unity among those affected by societal injustices. Preserved through time by Underwood Archives from Universal Images Group (UIG), this powerful image offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in American history that should never be forgotten or overlooked.
