This poster features a quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt concerning the spirit of brotherhood. The quote reads, "We are fighting for the right of men to live together as members of one family rather than as masters and slaves.

It is our promise to extend such brotherhood earthwide which gives hope to all the world. The war makes the appeal of Brotherhood Week stronger than ever."
