These blotters were part of national publicity campaign against racial and religious prejudice conducted in the late 1940s by the Institute for American Democracy (IAD). The IAD was created by the Anti-Defamation League and was one of many organizations formed during and after World War II to promote tolerance in the United States.  The IAD created and placed posters, billboards, transit ads and educational material throughout the United States on themes of social justice and equality. 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. They are in excellent unused condition with just a little edge/corner wear/marks....Note...I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ADDITIONAL FEES OR DELAYS ON ITEMS SHIPPED OVERSEAS.
