Button, "Practice Nonviolence," circa 1965
1963/1967
The Henry Ford
Dearborn, MI, United States
The Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. led a non-violent campaign for civil rights. His leadership during the turbulent 1950s and 1960s urged on legislative and social change. The wearer of this button would have supported King's non-violent efforts. Tragically, King would die violently by an assassin's bullet in 1968.
