Rosemary Sadlier

A little about her:

Rosemary Sadlier was born in Toronto and has been a vigorous supporter of Black initiatives. Ontario Black History Society (OBHS) is the first provincial heritage organization in Canada that is focused on African-Canadian history. With Rosemary Sadlier being a volunteer President starting 1993, Black History Month became effective in 1996 and it is now a national celebration. In recognition, she was presented with the Black Links Award for her efforts.



With her heavy work load in OBHS, she managed to be an author also and had published many books. For example, The Kid’s Book of Black Canadian History was one of her masterpieces which were published in 2003. This book covers the early civilizations in Africa, the story of the Underground Railroad that caused African Americans to come into Canada, achievements of Black inventors, politicians, writers, artists, scientists and much more stories. It is a comprehensive story and will enrich everyone’s knowledge of Black Canadians. She also took part in the film area, such as the Seeking Salvation: A History of the Black Church in Canada, or A Scattering of Seeds: the Mary Ann Shadd story. On top of that, she has presented in many places about Black history, raising the awareness of social equity. She was a recipient of the William Peyton Hubbard Race Relations Award, the Woman for PACE Award, and the Planet Africa Marcus Garvey Award. The countless awards she has received are recognitions of her tireless work in promoting the Black history and culture.

Poster Ideas:

It was hard to find pictures of “unknown” African Canadians so for this project I am stuck with one picture. Sadlier has her hands together under her chin, so I think I would put the word “Unity” on the poster. It would be a simple, but straight forward message to the audience. This word also fits Salier’s principle too, as she often advocate for the Black society. Maybe I will put a line or two of some Black history information. I will use the “propaganda colours” (colours that standout but they look dim) and try to make it look like old style propagandas.

Propaganda Research

This propaganda was from U.S in WWII when U.S was part of the Allies and Germany was part of the Axis. They were two opposing powers during the war and this propaganda is meant to humiliate Hitler by pulling his “Panzers” down. The use of propaganda is meant to manipulate large group of individual’s opinions and they are generated based on “how people’s mind works”. The style of this propaganda is the usual political cartoon style and the use of different colours, title, and information will psychologically influence one’s mind. In this one, it constructs a negative image of Hitler by the using a humiliating slogan, which helps to develop a sense of pride and unity to its targeted audience. This will build a stronger bond within U.S supporters and it will be a great advantage wining the war. Its effective use of information plus the catchy colours (combination of yellow and red) makes it a good propaganda.





This propaganda from Australia uses social psychology to target its audience again. Its purpose was to stimulate recruitment for the war so they would have more soldiers to fight in the war. When you first look at this, the word “Sympathy” comes in mind. It affects both male and female because the male would think that it is their job to fight and defend their nation, as well as helping their colleagues out to show their masculinity. The women would work harder at home too, for example, saving more food, money, and taking care of their children in order for their husband to have a better life. This propaganda is different from the first one because it didn’t use the “cartoon method”; it depicts the reality and seeks for sympathy. It didn’t use bright colours because it will not have the depressing and gloomy mood, but it did have a contrasting slogan (using black and white) to emphasize its purpose.
