Abstract

The Soviet Union Anti-Racist Monochrome Postcards are four postcards from a circa 1960 collection of postcards called "Artists Stigmatize Colonialism."  The four images are of an African American man behind a barbed-wire fence and soldier, an African American girl getting ready for school who is then met by white protesters and the Ku Klux Klan outside the school, a white explorer using Africans as slaves and Africans capturing the white explorer, and a man in a mask beside a lynched African American man. All the writing is in Russian.
