Fight Racial Religious Hate Anti-Racist Prejudice Discrimination Blotter 1940s

Description

Unused ink blotter, approximately 3.25" x 6.25".   Reads "I am SO an American! You Bet, Sonny, No Matter What Your Race or Religion! Fight racial and religious hate."
This blotter was part of national publicity campaign against racial and religious prejudice conducted in the late 1940s by the Institute for American Democracy (IAD). An ecumenical offshoot of the Anti-Defamation League, the IAD was one of many organizations formed during and after World War II to promote tolerance in the United States. Fearing the spread of the "scientific" racism of Nazi Germany, American politicians, educators, and military and religious leaders urged the public to embrace tolerance as a vital feature of democracy. The IAD provided teachers with handbooks for teaching tolerance and distributed these blotters, as well as posters bookmarks, and other materials to get their message across.
