Controlling the Image: US Propaganda during the Second World War

Wednesday, October 111:30—2:30 PMZoom

During World War II, governments on all sides of the conflict used propaganda to glorify their own cause and vilify their enemies.  After the US entered the conflict in December 1941, the government created an agency, the Office of War Information, to shape American public perception of the conflict.  This free Zoom talk will examine the different themes that helped unify the nation in our war effort.

Paolo Di Gregorio, the Artifactual Scholar, is a historian, archaeologist, and educator with a passion for telling the stories of our past. He has presented numerous historical lectures and discussions on a variety of topics in American, European, and World history.
