WW-2 Propaganda Poster - The Spirit of Unity T-Shirt

I wanted to believe that during WW-2 there was a spirit of unity of propose that is missing today. But it was no golden age. People struggled and sacrificed for the war effort and there was racial segregation and religious persecution dividing the nation. I made the shirt available for people to express and remind others that there must be some things that transcend politics. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "We say glibly that in the United States of America all men are free and equal, but do we treat them as if they were? . . . There is religious and racial prejudice everywhere in the land, and if there is a greater obstacle anywhere to the attainment of the teamwork we must have, no one knows what it is." - Arthur Upham Pope, Chairman of the Committee for National Morale, in America Organizes to Win the War "During World War II, racial restriction and segregation were facts of life in the U.S. military. Nevertheless, an overwhelming majority of African Americans participated wholeheartedly in the fight against the Axis powers. They did so, however, with an eye toward ending racial discrimination in American society. This objective was expressed in the call, initiated in the black press for the "Double V"-victory over fascism abroad and over racism at home. The Government was well aware of the demoralizing effects of racial prejudice on the American population and its impact on the war effort. Consequently, it promoted posters, pamphlets, and films highlighting the participation and achievement of African Americans in military and civilian life."
