Description
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead, quoted in John M. RIchardson, ed. "Making it Happen"
1982
World War II posters helped to mobilize a nation... Government agencies, businesses, and private organizations issued an array of poster images linking the military front with the home front—calling upon every American to boost production at work and at home... Both medium and message spoke of democracy, which made posters ideal for expressing American war aims: why we fight, what we fight for.Creator
