The title should be updated to remove the word "colored."

Of course you shouldn't tamper with the old picture descriptions! This is a document of that era! The world has rapidly deteriorated since "Politically Correctness" showed its ugly face!

In the segregated US Army of 1942, this man was labeled 'colored'. To sugest removing that, is to suggest falsifying the history of blacks in the US.

Hmm...not sure I understand the date. According to several sources, this poster wasn't released until 1942, and the BSA campaign didn't begin until 1942, as well. Besides, it doesn't make sense to have a US flag on a war poster until after December of 41 anyway, I'm thinking. Pretty sure the date is wrong on this one.
The Library of Congress said:
Thanks! For now, we’re gathering the suggestions and corrections, but holding off on making changes until more comments come in.

1943. The top four flags, USA, GB, USSR and ROC, being positioned together corresponds with the meetings between Roosevelt, Stalin, Churchill, and Chiang-Kai-Shek in 1943.

I have to agree with lpress and mrpibb; I don't think the United States would be so firmly represented on a war poster in 1941. The phrase "UNITED NATIONS" perplexes me; the official United Nations wasn't formed until 1945, but this usage of the phrase seems to be more of an informal description of a confederation of nations with similar goals, not an official UN poster; if I'm wrong, then the photo would have to date from 1945, I would say.
