During World War II, Germany ran under a fascist government led by Hitler and Mussolini. Germany appeared to be powerful, but after an attack on the Soviet Union, the Soviet Red Army began to defend their country and target Germany to defeat fascism. Along with allies such as America, Britain, and Italy, the Soviet Union destroyed German cities, fought a bloody battle on June 6, 1944, on the beaches of northern France in what is widely known as D-Day, and took over the Nazi capital of Berlin. With Germany overwhelmed by the Allies, both Mussolini and Hitler faced a gruesome defeat. In the spring of 1945, Hitler committed suicide, officially defeating fascism.

An off-white and navy background, split horizontally. On the off-white portion, an abstract orange illustration surrounded by navy blue block text, with "SOUVENIR" written vertically to the left of the illustration, and "CHICAGO FAIR" written horizontally to the right.

The illustration depicts the Spiramid, a sculture which was the symbol of the 1950 Chicago Fair. The 1950 Chicago Fair took place at the Lake Front Exposition Grounds, currently known as McCormick Place, from June 14 through Labor Day. The Spiramid symbolized “the upward spiral of progress to new and even loftier heights in the standards of American living.” The fair emphasized the achievements in U.S. agriculture, commerce, industry, and science. The fair also hosted a pageant, “Frontiers of Freedom,” to emphasize America’s pioneer heritage. The Spiramid was dismantled when the fair closed and is no longer standing on the Lakefront.

In 1972, Democrat Joe Biden was only 30 years old when he won his first campaign for U.S. Senator in Delaware. His campaign was small and mostly run by family members, but he went door to door and connected with people on the issues of withdrawal from the Vietnam War, Civil Rights, and Healthcare. His term nearly ended before it started when, on December 18, 1972, he lost his wife and one year old daughter Naomi in a car accident. His two young sons, Hunter and Beau, were also in the car and survived with bone fractures. Heartbroken, he focused on his sons and made sure he was home each night, memorably taking an Amtrak train 90 minutes from Wilmington, Delaware to Washington D.C. He married Jill Jacobs in 1977 and they had daughter Ashley in 1981.  

He served as a Senator for Delaware for 36 years and ran an unsuccessful Presidential campaigns in 1988 and 2008. He is best known for his work on the Crime Act, Violence Against Women Act, and his bona fides in Foreign Policy.

Joe Biden then ran for President in 2020, and won against the incumbent Donald Trump.

The A.F. of L. stands for American Federation of Labor. The American Federation of Labor was formed in December of 1886 by Samuel Gompers. It was a group of smaller craft unions consisting of skilled workers organizing local unions and negotiating wages, hours, and working conditions. Under Gompers’s leadership, the American Federation of Labor grew to become the largest labor union organization in the United States. But during the 1920s, the organization faced challenges in leadership, particularly that only skilled workers are allowed for membership. Tensions became prevalent until the Great Depression as unskilled workers joined to help serve better lives for thousands of working Americans. Today, the organization is known as AFL-CIO since 1955 and remains the United States’ largest union organization.
