The Bonus March: How to Teach History with a Civics Lesson

Wednesday, November 3, 2021 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Join Elizabeth Dinschel, Archivist and Education Specialist for the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library-Museum for this session.

In 1932, World War I veterans boarded freight trains from Portland, Oregon, to Washington, DC, to lobby Congress for early payment of a bonus that was scheduled to be paid in 1945. On July 28th, 1932, the police, and later the military, put down a riot made up of nearly 60,000 Bonus Marchers. This webinar will show how to blend primary sources, historic narrative, and civics into an inquiry arc using the Bonus March.
