American G.I. Forum

The American G.I. Forum is a civil rights organization founded in 1948 to advocate for Hispanic veterans and minority communities, ensuring equal access to education, healthcare, and justice. Originating from efforts to address discrimination against Mexican-American veterans seeking proper treatment and recognition, it has grown to promote broader social and political issues affecting Hispanic Americans. The organization works to raise awareness, influence policy, and provide community support, emphasizing the importance of education, civil rights, and social justice. Its mission is to empower Hispanic Americans and ensure equal opportunities and rights for all.
