I picked up this 1960s Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee Pinback from the original owner. He had gotten it back then - not at a Civil Rights rally but an anti-Vietnam Protest. With the "We Shall Overcome" mantra - it brings to mind the Civil Rights struggle first but he said at his University they were active in both.
Nice find the SNCC played a key role in inspiring SDS, both philosophically and by example.
I just picked up a small lot of "Pigasus" button's from the original owner It's always nice to get 1st hand stories these even have to original price on the back of $0.50 now they go for $25-$35 (I plan on posting the tonight (ish)
