Trabajamos con la Alianza para el Progreso poster, 1964 US poster: A Spanish-language Alliance for Progress poster

Trabajamos con la Alianza para el Progreso poster (Spanish poster distributed in Mexico City)

A Spanish-language Alliance for Progress poster. Around the programme's torch-and-arrow emblem, illustrated panels show people laying a road and bridge, painting a school, digging a trench, using a village water pump and building a health centre. The tell is plain-folks imagery: ordinary working people shown as the programme's doers, with the slogan 'We work with the Alliance'.
