Show Synopsis
When Latino veterans came home from World War II, they expected to be welcomed as heroes by the entire community. But after facing discrimination at the only other American Legion post in town, they decided to build their own, brick by brick, in a South Phoenix barrio. American Legion Post 41 quickly became a beacon for civil rights activism. Today, it's a living tribute to the legacy of its members.
