    The Bonus Army from Portland to D.C.

    In the summer of 1932, during the great depression, approximately 17,000-25,0009 U.S. World War I veterans, their families and affiliated groups marched to Washington, D.C for a peaceful protest. This was the Bonus Army- they gathered from all around the country to demand an early cash redemption of their service certificates. The story of the bonus army underscores the power of grassroots organizing- and what happens when people come together to fight for justice. In this podcast we'll dive into the origins of the Bonus Army, learn exactly what it was they were demanding all while painting a clear picture of the political, social and economic circumstances of the times. We’ll also explore the systemic changes that followed the actions of the Bonus Army and examine the US government's handling of the veteran activists. All this and more on Popular Education Radio!

    The Battle at Adwa: African Triumph Against Colonialism

    In this episode, we delve into the Battle of Adwa, fought on March 1, 1896, between the Ethiopian Empire and the Kingdom of Italy. Despite being vastly outgunned, the Ethiopian forces were able to successfully repel the Italian colonialists, defending their independence and sovereignty. We discuss the roots of the conflict, including the Scramble for Africa, the Berlin Conference, and the Treaty of Wuchale. We explore the impacts of the Battle of Adwa on modern anti-fascist movements, pan-Africanism, black and African solidarity, and anti-imperialist resistance. We also highlight the ongoing issues of poverty, conflict, and inequality in Africa that stem from European colonialism.
