  • I LOVE LIBERTY
     
    WHAT A NICE SIMPLE SENTENCE
     
    Warning!
    Maybe harmless in the others hands
     
    This magnificent print was created in 1982 as a fundraiser for People for the American Way a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization, registered in 1981 by the television producer Norman Lear, who was known for his work on All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Maude, and Goodtimes. A self-described "liberal", he founded the organization in 1980 to challenge the conservative Christian agenda of the Moral Majority.
     
    It seems harmless to say I LOVE LIBERTY, but these three innocent words - soon to be banned - along with books that only describe one side of the picture. Although there will always be many ways to interpret this simple sentence, I think Roy Lichtenstein, a second-generation American Jew, and Norman Lear, a first-generation American Jew, have a shared relationship with this work.
     
    The print is now over 40 years old along with the children who were born the year it was produced. Half of which were girls, now women, that have now had sacrosanct rights taken away from them. The moral majority has now taken control of the supreme court and People for the American Way continues its mission today as a progressive advocacy group to fight right-wing extremism and build a democratic society that implements the ideals of freedom and justice for all. 
     
    Just keep saying
    I LOVE LIBERTY
    and register to vote!
