- Description
No place or date, presumed circa 1968. 1 7/16" in diameter. Stickpin style back. Profile of an African-American man with words in white. NEAR FINE.
Issued by the Socialist Workers Party, this pinback presumably pertains to the candidacy of Paul Boutelle for Vice-President in 1968. Boutelle was a Black activist and member of several organizations, including the all Black party, Freedom Now Party. He changed his name to Kwame Montsho Ajamu Somburu in 1979. VERY GOOD. Modesttoning and rubbing to the face, minor tarnishing to the reverse.
