Rare WWI home front poster quoting Roosevelt speech peech announcing the formation of the 442nd Infantry Regiment.
No loyal citizen of the United States should be denied the democratic right to exercise the responsibilities of his citizenship, regardless of his ancestry. The principle on which this country was founded and by which it has always been governed is that Americanism is a matter of the mind and heart; Americanism is not, and never was, a matter of race or ancestry”
