EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in American history - Washington, DC, July 28, 1932. Tanks and mounted troops are seen moving towards the Bonus Marchers' camp, ready to break up the protest. The image is filled with tension and conflict as the forces of authority clash with those fighting for their rights. The Bonus Marchers were World War I veterans who had come to Washington to demand early payment of a bonus promised to them by the government. As they set up camp near the Capitol building, tensions rose between the protesters and law enforcement. In this photograph, we see the stark contrast between the military might of tanks and armed troops against unarmed civilians peacefully protesting for what they believed was rightfully theirs. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by working-class Americans during the Great Depression. The image is a haunting reminder of a dark chapter in American history when economic hardship led to widespread social unrest. It stands as a testament to the power of protest and resistance in times of adversity. This print is not just a snapshot from the past but a poignant reminder of our shared history and collective struggle for justice and equality.
