EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pinback button that served as a powerful symbol of black unity during the mid-20th century. The creator remains unknown, but their message continues to resonate today. The round button features a vibrant green image of the African continent at its center, surrounded by bold red text that proudly declares, "WE ARE AFRIKANS/WORKING FOR BLACK UNITY". Once owned by Jan Bailey (1942-2010), this artifact represents an important chapter in American history and activism. It embodies the struggles and aspirations of African Americans and serves as a reminder of their cultural heritage. This badge holds immense significance within the context of black history, serving as both a political statement and a unifying force. Displayed at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this metal object transcends time with its enduring message. It stands as an emblematic representation of solidarity among people who identify themselves as Afrikans or Afro-Americans, promoting unity across borders. The pinback button's striking colors and concise wording make it visually impactful while conveying its profound meaning. By proudly displaying Africa at its core, it emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's roots while striving for collective progress in America. As we reflect on this remarkable piece from our past, let us remember how symbols like these have played crucial roles in shaping our nation's journey towards equality and justice for all citizens - regardless of race or origin.
