A Kansas City, Missouri, parade in 1921 is the subject here, with the American Legion marching through the city only two years after its founding in 1919. The Legion was formed by veterans of World War I, and its early parades were a visible way for former servicemen to organize and be seen as a civic force in their communities. Postwar parades like this one drew large crowds of families, and they show the uniforms, banners and organized ranks that marked the veterans' groups of the period. Look closely at the street and the spectators to get a sense of how a city turned out to honor its returning soldiers.
