Very rare color chromolithograph poster titled at the bottom: 'Colored Man is No Slacker', 20 x 16 in., a commercial image intended for the African-American market. The poster depicts a black soldier in uniform bidding farewell to his sweetheart as other black soldiers march behind him with a waving American flag. Printer E. G. Renisch, Chicago is credited, dated 1918. One corner chip, else very good. In the United States during World War I, the word 'slacker' was commonly used to describe someone who was not participating in the war effort, specifically someone who avoided military service, equivalent to the later term 'draft dodger'.
