An Army Afire: How the U.S. Army Confronted the Problem of Race in the Vietnam Era with Dr. Beth Bailey

Dr. Beth Bailey will discuss how the U.S. Army worked to solve its racial crisis in the 1960s (in army terms, “the problem of race”) and how Army leaders were surprisingly creative in confronting demands for racial justice. She will highlight how willing Army leaders were to challenge fundamental army principles of discipline, order, hierarchy, and authority and how conservative institution came to terms with demands for change.
