# Alianza para el Progreso poster 409a, third anniversary (Spanish poster distributed in Mexico City)

A Spanish-language sheet marking the third anniversary of the Alliance for Progress. Its emblem, a hand raising a torch inside a blue circle and white arrowhead, sits above factory chimneys, a brick building under construction, rural houses, ploughed fields, pylons and a dam. The words read 'We work with the Alliance for Progress'. The tell is glittering-generalities: the image shows progress as an unspecified bundle of industry, housing and power, joined by 'we work with' phrasing that invites joining in.
