Life Magazines – The Forties

Life Magazine - July 19, 1943. Air force pilot, female on the cover next to plane 368

July 19, 1943

We stumbled on these Life Magazines from 1943. There were about ten of them. All of them celebrated women, Black veterans, patriotism and the accomplishments of people for whom the odds were against. If only the celebration of what truly makes this country great, which is diversity, rich and deep history of different cultures and genders coming together, as well as our government supporting that excellence — if only it continued in earnest, our current situation would be something contained only in horror/fiction movies and books, instead of reality. #Resist
