It was founded in Oakland, California, in 1966,following the 1965 assassination of Malcolm X. In the the fall of 1966, members of the BPP contacted Fox Buttons and came to our NY office. We worked with them to design a subtle but powerful logo that could be used as a symbol of support as well as an identification pin for members of the Party. (Of course, we were visited by the FBI as soon as the Panthers left... BUT, they were not invited in.) The Black Hand, holding lightning bolts was a strong message of Black Power.The litho pin has the Fox Buttons Credit Line along with a union bug on the curl. There is no rust or discoloration.An original from the collection of LARRY FOX - "The Button Man" (Member: A.P.I.C.)Your SATISFACTION is 100% GUARANTEED!
