Timeline
The Casablanca Conference of 1943
This source discusses how the Allies are trying to defeat the Axis powers. They mention many different ways on how they can defeat the Axis Powers, for example they discuss the idea of island hopping and so forth. It also mentions that the Allies were going to Japan one last chance to surrender before they take matters further into their hands. It also states that its the United Nations job to to restore to conquered peoples their sacred rights. Since one could predict the outcome of the Japanese people if Japan would not surrender.
This document has a creepy foreshadowing element especially when it discusses about going Japan one more chance. The overall positive outcome, however, is that the discussions about what to do (concerning about war strategies) all had one outcome. It was the first time the Allies actually had agreed on a war strategy was well, and that was huge.

Executive Order 8022: June 25,1941
This document illustrates some of the first movements towards civil rights. The specifications of the document make it clear that any form of racial bias or discrimination while on the clock at the work place is intolerable. This document is in direct contrast to Executive Order 9066 which all but legalized racism and discrimination towards non-White Americans.
This document is significant because it shows somewhat of an underlying, growing social awareness of the racial problem in out country more than a decade before the formal "Civil Rights Movement." This type of consciousness amongst the American public helped give the Civil Rights movement a strong backbone to build upon and move forward.

WE CAN DO IT!
This is a WWII propaganda poster. The artist behind it is J. Howard Miller, and it is entitles "Rosie the Riveter." Posters such as this one were used to advertise and sell patriotism to the female population. The idea was to let women know and understand that it was not only the men who could fight this war, but the women could too by picking up the slack back in The States. Posters like this spoke to women who wanted to help themselves to a slice of nationalism and they did that by working in factories, creating many weapons and other war products. This poster depicts a woman named Rosie, who is wearing the stereotypical blue collar work shirt with the sleeves rolled up. She is making a masculine pose, as to suggest that she is strong, physically and mentally. She is still wearing make-up which expresses that women could be still be women, while at the same time helping their country.
