Marches on Washington then and now
A retrospective tying the 1932 Bonus Army to earlier Washington marches from Coxey to the Women’s Army and the 1963 Civil Rights era. It details Coxey’s poverty parade, the 1913 suffrage trek led by Rosalie Jones, and the 1932 confrontation that ended with troops clearing the camps and one fatality, shaping New Deal politics.
