American Social Hygiene Posters In 1913, several organizations, interested in health issues, came together and formed the American Social Hygiene Association. It's purpose was to educate the public about venereal disease, to control and prevent its spread. These posters are from the "Keeping Fit" campaign. They would have appeared in YM and YWCA's and progressive high schools. They preach general physical fitness as well as "eugenic" marriage (choosing mates with "good blood," i.e. free of VD) |
