Description

Join us at 2 pm on Saturday, November 11 to commemorate Veterans Day as University of Illinois professor emeritus Bob Messer presents "Seeing is Believing: Reading American WWI Posters 100 Years Later." Messer takes us through the posters on display in our WWI exhibit, putting these remarkable wartime images in their context as both art and propaganda and encourages us to read them from our perspective a century later.
