Redesigning Uncle Sam
As part of our summer redesign challenge, we’ve asked illustrator-designer Kate Bingaman-Burt to makeover Uncle Sam. She enlisted her graphic design students at Portland State University to come up with ideas for replacing the stern white-haired man with the top hat.
The story you just read is available to read for free because thousands of listeners and readers like you generously support our nonprofit newsroom. Every day, the reporters and producers at The World are hard at work bringing you human-centered news from across the globe. But we can’t do it without you: We need your support to ensure we can continue this work for another year.
When you make a gift of $10 or more a month, we’ll invite you to a virtual behind-the-scenes tour of our newsroom to thank you for being with The World.
