Administration Censor Censored Conversation Progress
EDITORS COMMENTS
During the tumultuous years of World War II, the government and military recognized the power of visual communication in shaping public opinion and maintaining morale. One such tool was the creation and dissemination of posters, which addressed various aspects of the war effort. This particular poster, titled "Censored," serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of careful communication during wartime. The image features a letter from a soldier, with the words "Censored" stamped across it in bold red letters, and the number "42" in the corner. The letter is shown being examined by a stern-looking figure wearing a military uniform and holding a pair of scissors. The caption below reads, "Censored. Lets censor our conversation about the war." This poster was produced during the period between 1941 and 1943, as indicated by the date range. It is a testament to the Progress Administration's (WPA) efforts to create works that would inspire and inform the American public, while also ensuring the security of military operations. The poster serves as a powerful reminder of the careless communication that could potentially harm the war effort and the importance of adhering to censorship guidelines. The "Censored" poster is a significant historical artifact that sheds light on the complexities of wartime communication and the role of the government in shaping public discourse. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and civilians alike during the war and the importance of mindful communication in times of crisis.
