Description

Ten years since the damaging recession of 2008 America was barely hanging onto its values, shaken by mistrust in government, freedom of speech under attack, influx of refugees from international terrorism, returning veterans' expectations, economic inequality, and a loss of common civility. By 2019, the fabric of society was barely holding on.Selling Americans on America tells of another turbulent era-Post World War II- when a phenomenon called the "Freedom Train" reignited citizens' faith in a country that was riddled with dissent, anxiety and mistrust in its leaders. In 1945-46 more than five million workers enlisted in labor strikes across the country. The constant fear of communist infiltration dominated the headlines. Returning GIs demanded jobs and housing. Government entities continued war-time meat and dairy rationing. Displaced Persons fleeing war-torn Europe poured into the country. Overseeing the chaos was a president nobody elected, coupled with a bitter, divisive Congress.To renew citizens' unity and pride in their nation, a privately funded consortium of advertising, civic, and entertainment professionals created a product to literally "Sell Americans on America." To help carry their message of hope, they assembled 130 priceless documents including the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Emancipation Proclamation. Combined with a media blitz of songs, operettas, radio shows, and local festivities, the train reminded Americans that "Freedom is Everybody's Job." For sixteen months, 40 million people threw themselves into a celebration that helped revive America's spirit and self-confidence. Selling Americans on America tells the story of that amazing road show, its journey and the events that it inspired.
