EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant piece of American political history - a pinback button from Jesse Jackson's 1984 presidential campaign. Reverend Jesse Jackson, an African-American political activist and Baptist minister, made waves as he ran for the US Democratic presidential nomination in both 1984 and 1988. Serving as a shadow senator for the District of Columbia from 1991 to 1997, his impact on American politics cannot be understated. The round pin-back button features bold blue text against a clean white background, proudly displaying the name "JESSE / JACKSON / 84". On the back, there is a blue logo and text that reads "[PD. FOR BY JACKSON FOR PRES. COMM. ]", further emphasizing its connection to his campaign. This artifact represents not only an important moment in African-American history but also showcases the power of activism during this era. The buttons were worn by supporters who believed in Jackson's message and vision for America. Now preserved within the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this object serves as a reminder of how individuals can make their voices heard through political engagement. It symbolizes hope, progress, and resilience in pursuit of equality. As we reflect on this piece from our past, it reminds us that change begins with passionate individuals like Jesse Jackson who dare to challenge societal norms and strive for betterment within their country.
