EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pinback button from the Million Man March's 20th Anniversary, held in Washington, D. C. on October 10,2015. The button boldly states "Black Lives Matter Everyday" in white letters against a black background. It serves as a symbol of activism and solidarity within the African American community. The scratches on the pin reflect its history and use as an information artifact during this significant event. The metal back with only a pin at the top emphasizes its simplicity yet profound message. The Million Man March was organized by Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, along with various civil rights organizations and local chapters of the NAACP. Participants gathered to advocate for police reform while raising awareness about violence and discrimination faced by black individuals. This photograph is not just an object; it represents a pivotal moment in American history where thousands united to demand justice and equality for all citizens regardless of their race or ethnicity. It stands as a testament to ongoing struggles for human rights in our country. Displayed at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this heritage art piece showcases how political movements can shape our nation's narrative and inspire change. Its presence reminds us that we must continue fighting for justice until every life truly matters in America.
