Dinkins, who served as New York City's first Black mayor from 1990 to 1993, fought for racial unity and inclusivity. The button features white lettering on a plum background reading "Women for / Dinkins / for Unity".
The button is among more than 200 collected by Washington, DC-based environmental justice advocate Vernice Miller-Travis.
