Description

The January 30th, 1943 issue of the Boston Chronicle showcases attitudes to World War II. The newspaper achieves this through publishing pro war advertisements, political cartoons in support of the war, and highlighting the achievements as well as pastimes of servicemen. There is also discussion regarding Africa's involvement in the war through highlighting F.D.R.'s visit to Liberia and his meeting with Winston Churchill in Casablanca. As the paper concludes it disuses set backs for minorities in attaining rights as the Fair Employment Practices Committee (FEOC) hearing had been canceled.
