This color poster from the U.S. Government Printing Office makes the 1940 census a matter of national pride, asking Americans to help complete the "Ten-Year Roll Call" under the slogan "It's Your America." The count was taken in April 1940, as the country was still recovering from the Great Depression and watching the war in Europe with growing concern. Posters like this one were a common way for the federal government to reach ordinary households and urge them to take part. Its patriotic wording shows how officials tied a routine statistical task to ideas of citizenship and shared responsibility.
