During the Great Depression, as political unrest and economic instability took center stage, many Americans felt a sense of urgency to involve themselves. Intellectuals, workers, activists, artists, and writers united, forming different coalitions to fight against injustices, both on a global and national scale. New Masses, an American leftist magazine, worked to spread their message, firmly against labor injustice and human rights. The magazine featured prominent artists at the time, including labor positive artists like Rockwell Kent. Kent, avowedly anti-capitalist, among others, published works like Workers of the World, Unite! as representation of his personal politics as well as the strong politics of New Masses.
