Poster no. 26 in the Office of War Information series, this 1943 silkscreen is titled "Americans will always fight for liberty" and credited to B. Perlin. The Office of War Information, created in 1942, coordinated government messages to the public during the war, and its posters were printed in quantity to support campaigns on the home front. Silkscreen allowed bold, flat areas of color that read quickly on a wall or street. The slogan reflects the wartime idea that American freedom depended on the service of military personnel and the support of civilians at home.
