This poster was distributed after World War II by the Institute for American Democracy, Inc., a front organization for the Anti-Defamation League. It had been founded in New York City in 1941 to promote American involvement in the war and the fight against fascism. In 1944, it launched the Campaign for Unity Democracy and the Four Freedoms (in reference to the Four Freedoms outlined by President Roosevelt in his 1941 State of the Union address), one that included a booklet and a series of posters on the theme. It also produced posters encouraging Americans to buy war bonds. After the war, the institute continued to produce press materials and posters like this one to promote tolerance within the United States. The illustration showing the “For Sale” sign posted on the lawn of a house by prejudiced owners and about to be axed by public opinion and the strong arm of the United States here is a literal representation of the characteristically long, didactic message below it. Racial and religious prejudice remained a huge and divisive issue in the United States after the war. African Americans, for example, notoriously returned from fighting in segregated units to a segregated country that seemed barely to acknowledge their contributions and sacrifices as they struggled to find education, housing, and jobs.
