In the WW II era the Anti-Defamation League working with the NAACP produced a series of "car cards" - what we would now call windshield flyers. The goal was to encourage an American society without color/creed divisions.

 

This was very controversial at the time - the army itself was split into white and negro divisions and the flyers were seen in some quarters as minorities using the war to advance their political positions (which is why they all say Buy War Bonds Regularly on the bottom).

 

The flyers whose file names have people's names at the end I know the illustrator of; if anyone can help identify the other illustrations, I would be very grateful.

 

Thanks -
