The American GI forum was a group started by Dr. Hector P. Garcia in March 1948. This was a start towards the Mexican-American civil rights. It started after World War II in which many Mexican Americans fought. It was when returning back home from duty that Hispanics were being treated wrongfully and not able to receive their GI benefits that they were entitled to for their service. It was the creation of the American GI Forum that created a revolutionary movement obtaining civil rights for Mexican Americans. If not for the American GI Forum the Mexican-Americans would not have received their GI Benefits and Mexican-Americans would not have received the medical care, burial rights, schooling, and other civil rights they were denied.
