The Incredible History!

Political buttons played a significant role in the civil rights era, serving as tangible symbols of activism and a means of expressing support for various causes. The use of buttons as a form of political expression gained momentum in the 1960s during the height of the civil rights movement in the United States.

These buttons often featured powerful slogans, iconic images, or the faces of prominent civil rights leaders. They served as portable statements of solidarity and were widely used during protests, marches, and other events advocating for equal rights.

One iconic example is the "I AM A MAN" buttons worn by participants in the Memphis Sanitation Strike of 1968. The slogan emphasized the dignity and humanity of African American workers who were demanding fair wages and better working conditions.

Buttons also helped raise awareness about specific events and campaigns, such as the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, where participants proudly wore buttons to showcase their commitment to the cause. The imagery and messages on these buttons played a crucial role in conveying the spirit and goals of the civil rights movement to a broader audience.

In summary, political buttons from the civil rights era served as powerful visual tools for activists, allowing them to express their commitment to equality, justice, and social change in a tangible and widespread way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you Black-owned?

Yes, and thanks for asking! TheBlackest Co. is proudly Black-owned and ByBlack certified, administered by U.S. Black Chambers.

How long does shipping take?

Most orders print and ship in 2-4 business days, then take 3-8 business days to arrive. Business days are Monday to Friday, not counting holidays. Every item is made to order, which takes a little extra time, but ensures quality, reduces waste, and saves water.

How do I know what size?

Measure something you already own and love the fit of, then compare to our size chart on each product page. Our shirts generally run true to size - if you're between sizes or prefer a looser fit, sizing up is usually the way to go.

Can I use discount codes with...?

Good news - a lot of our codes do stack! We have so many running at once that the easiest way to know is to add them at checkout and see what happens. If it works, you'll see it. If not, no worries - the best deal will still always apply!

Is this made to order?

Yup - just like a birthday cake! Every item is made to order, which takes a little extra time, but ensures quality, reduces waste, and saves water.

What's your return policy?

If your order arrives misprinted, damaged or wrong, we'll replace it free. Contact us within 30 days of delivery with your order number, and we'll tell you exactly what we need to get it fixed fast.

Because each item is made to order, we're not able to accept returns or exchanges for size or color choices...or life's regrets. We don't carry inventory to swap out and we don't resell returns.

Wait!? I've seen this design somewhere else!

Probably. Our popular & original designs get stolen constantly, and if you buy it anywhere but our site, hoping to save a few bucks, you're rolling the dice on sketchy bank charges, garbage print quality, cheap threadbare garments, and sellers who may never send the item anyway - they don't even have a real print file, just a screenshot scraped off the internet. We only sell this design here, period. Every other listing is stolen artwork from shady companies cashing in on our hard work, and every dollar spent there is a dollar taken from a small Black-owned business instead of supporting one. Buy Black. Buy original.

A Genuine Black-Owned Company

Culture Vulture Free Zone

Look, we’re all for inclusion and celebrating Black history. But more and more NON Black-owned companies are selling Black culture while also falsely claiming to be Black-owned. That’s cultural appropriation, and it’s not just dishonest, it’s disrespectful to the Black community. Profiting off Black culture without supporting Black-owned businesses keeps systemic inequality going and erases Black voices. So do your research. Support real Black-owned businesses that stand for social justice, equity, and circulating the Black dollar, not the ones cashing in on the latest trend. 

We don’t just say it. We went through the process to get ByBlack certified, administered by U.S. Black Chambers, so you know exactly where your dollars go.

Putting my inside on my outside!

Just like my other review, I appreciate the concepts of the designs as well as the comfy tee base that doesn't bind at the neck and stretches nicely. All together 100%. Due to the stretchy base, I'm going to wash inside out on gentle to preserve the design.

Thank you for your awesome review! We are glad to hear that you are enjoying our Civil Rights Button Collection Unisex T-Shirt. We take pride in creating designs that represent important subjects, and we're happy to hear that you appreciate them. Love that you find the tee comfortable and easy to wear.
