Title

Buttons
Description
An account of the resource
Buttons were one of the most popular and pervasive forms of political messaging during the 1960s, combining brief messaging and memorable graphic designs. Buttons were inexpensive to produce on a mass basis and easy to distribute. They afforded any individual an opportunity to voice their opinions and, potentially, reach a broad audience. As Hunter Oatman-Stanford has written, “From discreet lapel pins to oversized buttons on purses or backpacks, pinbacks invite conversation by declaring potentially controversial viewpoints to complete strangers.” In this way, buttons were (and still are) a particularly democratic form of political propaganda.
As button collector, John Aisthorpe, has put it, buttons offer “a little snapshot of history.” During the 1960s, buttons were vital to the visual identity of a range of movements. “There were many protest groups who put their views on buttons,” Aisthorpe recalls, “from the early ’60s with the Free Speech Movement (FSM) to the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and, later, the Veterans for Peace, the Fifth Avenue Vietnam Peace Parade Committee, and the Yippies.” The political impact of buttons in the 1960s is hard to gauge, though their popularity suggests some modicum of significance. And, as Aisthorpe has asserted, “It’s hard to say what impact they had, but the text of buttons worn at protests were often used as antiwar chants, like ‘Hell no, we won’t go!’… They must have had some effect.” The buttons of the 1960s have remained some of the most enduring relics from this important past.
This collection includes buttons from a wide array of movements from the Sixties, including the student movement, civil rights and Black Power movements, women's liberation, environmentalism, the anti-nuclear movement, gay liberation, electoral politics, the Chicano movement, the labor movement and the counterculture, with a strong emphasis on the anti-war movement. In addition, a few buttons date from Roz Payne’s activist efforts in the 1970s and 1980s, including the early political campaigns of Vermont politician, Bernie Sanders.

Description
An account of the resource
Drawing from a Doonesbury comic by Gary Trudeau, this button includes the phrase, “As goes Burlington, so goes France” as a parody of the U.S political saying dating from the nineteenth-century, “As Maine goes, so goes the nation.” As a member of the Liberty Union Party, Bernie Sanders’ successful 1981 mayoral election in Burlington, Vermont, represented the state’s liberal-left position, in contrast with the emergence of the New Right at the same time.

Description
An account of the resource
In 1983, Bernie Sanders ran for re-election as Mayor of Burlington, Vermont. Sanders, running as an Independent, narrowly won the mayor's office in 1981 by a margin of ten votes over his Democratic opponent, but won the 1983 election by a more comfortable margin, earning 52% of the vote, compared to 30% for his closest competitor. Sanders served three terms as Mayor of Burlington before moving on to the U.S. House of Representatives for sixteen years (1990-2005) and then the U.S. Senate in 2006, where he continues to serve. Bernie Sanders is the longest-serving Independent in U.S. congressional history. In 2016, Sanders mounted an insurgent campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination, narrowly losing to Hillary Clinton, who went on to lose in the general election to Donald Trump.

Description
An account of the resource
In 1981, Bernie Sanders successfully ran for mayor of Burlington, Vermont, as an Independent, self-described "socialist," defeating Democratic Party candidate, Gordon Paquette.
Sanders served as Burlington mayor throughout the 1980s before being elected to the House of Representatives for Vermont in 1990, again as an "Independent" socialist. Sanders held Vermont's lone House seat until 2006, when he successfully won election to the Senate, where he still serves. In 2016, after joining the Democratic Party, Sanders mounted a surprisingly potent challenge to Democratic Party establishment favorite, Hillary Clinton, for the party's presidential nomination.
