With Truman for Civil Rights

Harry Truman was an outspoken advocate of civil rights: “The majority of our Negro people find but cold comfort in our shanties and tenements. Surely, as free men, they are entitled to something better than this.” That sentiment is reflected on this rare Truman civil rights campaign pin. It’s a 1 inch litho with some minor nicks. John Burkhardt collection.
