Pepsi...it's got a lot to give. , 1960s
35 x 35 in (h x w)

This billboard depicts "Three young men (two European American and one African American) in wearing football helmets and pads laughing drinking Pepsis." While there is an effort to include an African American man in this ad, he is portrayed within a white frame of reference within a context that is very comfortable for white viewers. The ad shows little evidence of diversity in culture or cultural sensitivity, and instead, demonstrates an awareness of physical diversity within an overarching white culture.
