SUMMARY:Buffalo Never Fails: The Queen City and World War I
LOCATION:855
DESCRIPTION:Buffalo Never Fails: The Queen City and World War I commemorates the 100th 
 anniversary of the United States entering what came to be known as “The Gre
 at War” - a critical time that left a major legacy in Buffalo, the United S
 tates, and the world.\nThis free public exhibition explores Buffalo, its pe
 ople and the region’s contributions to the war effort during a globally tur
 bulent period. Central to the exhibition is the Library’s extraordinary col
 lection of stunning World War I posters, which were donated in 1919 by prom
 inent Buffalonian Edward Michael. The collection includes posters from the 
 United States, Canada, and Europe, representing some of the finest examples
  of graphically designed war propaganda encouraging military enlistment and
  appealing directly to citizens to back the war effort, buy bonds, conserve
  food and support the Red Cross. Colorful images on posters were a very eff
 ective means to provide information, inspire patriotism and motivate the pu
 blic to support WWI.\nAlso on display are original materials about the sink
 ing of the RMS Lusitania ocean liner, which took the life of Elbert Hubbard
 , writer and founder of East Aurora’s (NY) Roycroft community; local innova
 tions and industrial mobilization that significantly contributed to both th
 e victory and devastation of this first truly mechanized war; a war diary b
 y a local soldier; pamphlets on a variety of wartime topics; the souvenir p
 rogram of the April 1919 “Welcome to Our Boys” celebration and much more. B
 uffalo was very different from the city as we know today, and the stories o
 f sacrifice, honor, glory and grief unfold in the exhibit.\n
