EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a momentous event in history - the United Nations exhibit put on by the Office of War Information (OWI) in Rockefeller Plaza, New York City, in 1943. The central motif of this exhibition was a frame containing a copy of the Atlantic Charter, symbolizing unity and cooperation among nations during World War II. The photograph showcases not only the grandeur of the exhibit but also its significance. Amplifiers positioned at each end of the frame broadcasted speeches by three influential leaders - President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek - every half hour. Their words resonated through loudspeakers, echoing their commitment to freedom and justice. Surrounding this powerful centerpiece were statues representing the four freedoms: Freedom from Want and Freedom from Fear. These sculptures served as visual reminders that these ideals were worth fighting for during such tumultuous times. Marjory Collins skillfully captured this historic moment with her camera lens, preserving it for future generations to reflect upon. This image serves as a testament to America's dedication to promoting peace and collaboration on an international scale. Through this photograph, we are transported back to an era where hope prevailed amidst global conflict. It stands as a reminder that even in times of adversity, unity can be achieved when nations come together under common goals and values like those outlined in the Atlantic Charter.
