>Wake Up America Day was celebrated on April 19, 1917 in New York City

Found another poster - his poster shows a woman dressed in stars and stripes, and symbolizes a sleeping America. After two and a half years of neutrality, the United States entered World War I on April 6, 1917. James Montgomery Flagg created this poster, which was featured in "Wake Up, America" Day in New York City just 13 days later on April 19, 1917. Actress Mary Arthur was Flagg's model for Columbia, who is a personification of Liberty and America. The woman on the print was shown asleep, wearing patriotic stars and stripes and a Phrygian cap — a symbol of freedom since Roman times. While she sleeps against a fluted column, another visual reference to western classical antiquity and civilization, sinister storm clouds gather in the background. https://iowaculture.gov/history/education/educator-resources/primary-source-sets/world-war-i-evaluating-americas-role-global/wake-up-america

Student America Wakes up

Thursday, april 19th, 1917 wrote itself down in history as "Wake up America Day." A peace-loving, prosperous nation accustomed to its ease and isolation, needs a deal of stirring before it awakes to the firey alertness of the days of Paul Revere.

One of the most impressive sights of the celebration was the reviewing of 10,000 students soldiers at the College of the City of New York.

Flagg’s “Wake Up, America!” design was so stunning that President Wilson designated April 19, 1917 in New York City as Wake Up America Day. The event concurred with Patriot’s Day, the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord. In this modern-before-its-time design—so different from everything else Flagg was doing during this period—the artist depicts Jean Earl Möhrle who dressed as Paul Revere and rode on a horse through Manhattan for the event. The U.S. had declared war on Germany just two weeks before, and this was intended to spur military recruiting for Doughboys to go “over the top” “Over There,” but its message remains startlingly contemporary. https://www.rennertsgallery.com/lxxx-worldwari/
