James Farmer stepped down from a leadership role at Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), the civil rights group he founded in 1942 and ran for the US House in 1968 losing to Shirley Chisholm. This button is likely from that campaign. Second "Wagner No!" references NYC mayor Robert F. Wagner. Third features spiral design at center w/slogan above.
