July                   1942: United We Stand
An online exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution documents                 the story behind "United We Stand," a media campaign designed                 to boost the morale of the American people demoralized several                 months earlier by the attack on Pearl Harbor. The campaign put                 the flag on the cover of magazines across the United States throughout                 July 1942.
Another online exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution,                 this one exploring the relationship between the Japanese Americans                 interned during World War II and the civil rights provided for                 citizens under the United States Constitution.
