# Backing the Attack on All Fronts!!! (National Negro Newspaper Week)

A newspaper page headed 'The Negro Press: Win the War - Plan the Peace!!' has a farm woman carrying produce, a rifle-bearing soldier and a factory worker stepping out of it, under the caption 'Backing the attack on all fronts!!!'. The tell is identity fusion: the Black press, farm, army and war plant are drawn as one body with a single war aim.
