America: The Third Century was a portfolio comprised of 13 original prints by a variety of international artists. Proceeds from the sale of the portfolio were donated to Change, Inc., and other charitable organizations selected by the artists. Lichtenstein designated Change, Inc., the American Civil Liberties Union, and the New York Civil Liberties Union as recipients. Change, Inc., was founded by Robert Rauschenberg in 1970 as a means of providing emergency funds to artists in need. In the portfolio the prints were accompanied by the essay “On Prints and Americans” by Russell Lynes.
