EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folding tab button from the Kennedy-Johnson 1960 presidential campaign, capturing a pivotal moment in American history. Crafted by the Green Duck Company, this metal button features the names of John F. Kennedy and his running mate Lyndon B. Johnson, who represented the Democratic Party during this election season. The button's design is a patriotic tribute to their candidacy, with red, white, and blue horizontal bands symbolizing the colors of the American flag. In the central white band, bold blue text proudly displays "KENNEDY / and / JOHNSON" emphasizing their partnership for leadership. Adding further symbolism are two white five-pointed stars printed within the red and blue bands above and below their names. These stars represent hope and aspiration for a brighter future under their administration. On its folding portion, which is colored in crisp white, you can find important information about its manufacturer as well as union labels that highlight support from labor organizations. The attention to detail on this button reflects both political activism and cultural heritage associated with African Americans during this era. As we reflect on this artifact at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), it serves as a reminder of how elections shape our nation's destiny. This piece offers insight into an influential period in U. S politics while honoring President Kennedy's historic inauguration in January 1961 alongside Vice President Johnson (LBJ).
