A hero to countless fans, heavyweight champ Joe Louis showed his patriotism by enlisting in the U.S. Army, on 1/10/42. Prior to a military exhibition bout on 3/27/42, Louis famously fired up the media at a Relief Fund dinner, with the statement "We'll win, 'cause we're on God's side". The Army made good use of this declaration, as evidenced by the offered Pvt. Joe Louis poster. Aimed at recruiting African-American citizens for military service, this compelling poster features a determined image of Louis wielding a rifle and bayonet, while his famous statement is located across the bottom. Sized at 18x25, this WWII relic makes an appealing stand in VG condition, with moderate staining/soiling noted on the perimeter. Opening Bid $50.
