EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant pinback button is a powerful symbol of the All-African Peoples Revolutionary Party (A-APRP), an influential socialist political party that emerged in the late 20th century. The button, dating back to the 1950s, showcases a black outline of Africa against a bold yellow background. Within the African continent, yellow typography boldly proclaims "ONE/UNIFIED/SOCIALIST/AFRICA" emphasizing the party's vision for a united and socialist Africa. The A-APRP was founded by Kwame Nkrumah in 1968 and later expanded its reach to the United States in 1972. This particular artifact belonged to Jan Bailey (1942-2010), who recognized its historical significance and preserved it as part of her collection. As an emblem of resistance and activism, this pinback button represents not only African American history but also highlights the broader struggle for liberation within the African diaspora. It serves as a reminder of solidarity among people across continents fighting against oppression and advocating for revolutionary change. Now housed at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, this object stands as both a testament to Jan Bailey's dedication to preserving heritage artifacts and an important visual representation of political movements that sought unification, equality, and socialism during turbulent times.
