An extraordinary Soviet propaganda poster showing Ameriacn Imperialism at home and
abroad. To the left are a group of American G.I’s pointing their rifles at a young Vietnamese
boy; to the right, a group of Klansmen are lynching a black man. One of the most powerful
anti-American posters to come out of the Soviet Union in the heyday of the propaganda battle
waged against the U.S. over the Viet Nam War.

Angeles County Supervisor, Kenneth Hahn. She was also known world-wide for her versatility
as a musician and poet. One of ten children born to a minister and his wife in Washington
Arkansas, she attended Texas College in Tyler. In 1923, Madame Bilbrew became the first

Hour” which aired over Radio Station KGFJ. In 1960, she was a delegate to the Women’s
Convention in Copenhagen, Denmark, and was chosen by the “Women of the Soviet Union”
to visit Russia. The library in Willowbrook, California is named for her.
