SUMMARY:Smithsonian's National Museum of American History Presents "Advertising War: Selling Americans on WWI"
LOCATION:383
DESCRIPTION:<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">Adver
 tising War</span></p><p><span style="background-color: initial;"><span styl
 e="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">(History Highlight
 s, Artifact Walls, First-Floor Center)</span></span></p><p><span style="fon
 t-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Smithsonian's Nation
 al Museum of American History is proud to present "Advertising War," a new 
 display of original wartime posters commissioned by the U.S. government.<br
  /> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica, san
 s-serif;">The display will explore what, at the time, was the largest adver
 tising initiative taken by the U.S. government. Aimed at turning public opp
 osition toward foreign entanglements into enthusiastic support for American
  participation in WWI, the U.S. government's Committee on Public Informatio
 n and it's Division of Pictorial Policy launched a poster campaign designed
  to manipulate public emotion and inspire action. This advertising campaign
 , featuring Jame's Montgomery Flagg's Uncle Sam, proved to be iconic, and i
 s remembered as one of the most important and powerful tools for shifting p
 ublic sentiment and inspiring widespread feelings of nationalism.</span></p
