Item Description
1" with union back stamp. During the 1950's the African American unemployment rate spiked to over 10% nationally. Due in part to a drying up of war related jobs, the influx of returning service men, and disenfranchisement by a racially segregated country. This button was produced for efforts to advance the job market for African American men who had been relegated to low paying jobs because of the color of their skin. Small cluster of deeper and tiny vertical scratches above the "S" in "Jobs". VF. displaying Exc. Scarce.
