Produce for Victory: World War II and the Home Front in America and in Hawai'i
A traveling exhibition, "Produce for Victory: Posters on the American Home Front, 1941-1945" in seven communities throughout the state, together with local programming and a teacher workshop on the significance of World War II.
The Hawai’i Council for the Humanities will tour a Smithsonian Institution Museum on Main Street exhibition called “Produce for Victory: Posters on the American Home Front, 1941-1945” to seven community venues around the state in 2006. Each site will develop local programs through mini-grants provided by HCH and the Council will coordinate development of a display and curriculum materials and hold a teacher workshop on the significance of World War II and the home front around the nation, including the immediate post-war period, and compare and contrast this with the experience in Hawai‘i.
