Propaganda and Patriotism

October 1, 2017

The MSU Museum will commemorate the 100th anniversary of U.S. involvement in World War I with the exhibition War and Speech: Propaganda and Patriotism in the Great War. MSU’s vast collection of WWI posters will help provide context for how Americans of the era used and understood civic duty and civic speech. Also of note is the fact that women, African Americans, Native Americans, and immigrants—not all of whom were full participants in the American body politic—were encouraged to enlist. Open Nov. 11, 2017-Nov. 11, 2018.
