“We’re Going To Do Our Part.”
Offered here is an original 1942 World War II propaganda poster featuring legendary heavyweight champion Joe Louis, issued by the United States Government Printing Office during the height of America’s wartime mobilization. Widely regarded as one of the most recognizable wartime images associated with Louis, the poster depicts the boxing icon dressed in military uniform beneath the now-famous patriotic slogan: “We’re going to do our part… and we’ll win because we’re on God’s side.”
Few athletes in American history carried the cultural significance of Joe Louis. By the early 1940’s, Louis had become one of the most admired and influential figures in the country, transcending sports and emerging as a symbol of American strength and unity during World War II. Despite openly criticizing segregation within the United States, Louis volunteered for military service and dedicated substantial portions of his career earnings toward the war effort, famously remarking, “Lots of things wrong with America, but Hitler ain’t going to fix them.”
The bold wartime imagery and unmistakable graphic design have made this one of the most iconic pieces of American World War II propaganda, offering exceptional crossover appeal between sports, military, and historical Americana collecting categories alike.
The poster measures approximately 20" x 14” and presents very nicely overall with expected signs of age consistent with original wartime material. The piece has been professionally custom framed for premium display.
