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. This image of innocent, smiling schoolchildren of diverse origins and the main text asserts the importance of tolerance and intercultural unity among all Americans; but like several of the other posters issued by the institute, it also draws attention to the critical role of Americans of all faiths and national origins in the recent war. The honor roll at right bears the names of 14 war heroes, among them Ferrari, Levine, Kowalski, and Rodriguez.
