This print showcases a pinback button from Jesse Jackson's 1988 presidential campaign, capturing the essence of African-American political activism in the late 20th century. Reverend Jesse Jackson, a prominent Baptist minister and politician, made history as a candidate for the US Democratic presidential nomination in both 1984 and 1988. The round button features bold blue and red text against a clean white background. It proudly displays the message "[WIN / Jesse / Jackson / 88 / WIN!]", with horizontal red lines extending from each side of "88". The silver-colored metal back is equipped with a horizontal pin-back fastener. As an artifact of American political history, this badge represents not only Jackson's personal journey but also the aspirations of countless African Americans during that era.
