This is the famous poster made from paintings by the American artist
Norman Rockwell during World War II. Rockwell made the paintings to
illustrate four freedoms that President Roosevelt said America was
determined to protect for the people of all countries.
You can find the lines about the Four Freedoms in the FDR speech
shown on page 191 of Fasttrack to America's Past.
