EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pinback button featuring a powerful quote by Louis Farrakhan, an influential African-American religious leader and political activist. The round button is adorned with white and red typography set against a striking black background, creating a visually compelling contrast. The quote boldly declares, "[POWER, /AT LAST. . . /FOREVER!/FARRAKHAN]" emphasizing the enduring strength and impact of Farrakhan's words. The unknown creator of this thought-provoking artifact skillfully captures the essence of 1980s activism and its significance in African American history. As the appointed National Representative of the Nation of Islam by former NOI leader Elijah Muhammad, Farrakhan played a pivotal role in shaping political discourse during this era. This photograph not only highlights the cultural heritage associated with buttons as information artifacts but also serves as a reminder of the power that lies within symbols and visual representations. The white horizontal line above Farrakhan's name adds further emphasis to his influence and authority. Preserved within the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this piece exemplifies how objects can transcend time to tell stories about people, politics, and social movements. It stands as both an emblematic representation of black power in America and an homage to Louis Farrakhan's lasting legacy.
