This round pinback button expressed support for presidential candidate Jesse Jackson. The pin features a colored photographic portrait of Jackson, whose raised right fist appears to be holding a rainbow, in reference to the Rainbow Coalition he founded. Black lettering around the rim reads “I’m With Jesse All the Way!”.
The button is among more than 200 collected by longtime Anacostia resident and social justice advocate Howard Croft.
