Pinback button promoting Hubert Humphrey for president and Edmund Muskie for vice president, 1968.The slogan on this jugate pinback is a reference to the race riots that plagued many American cities in the late 1960s, and the white supremacist backlash that gave impetus to the campaign of Alabama governor George Wallace. Humphrey, long seen as a leader in race relations, argued for enforcement of laws to quell the violence while also recognizing the injustices that led to rioting.
