Campaign Buttons Exihibit
Schmid Law Library is proud to announce the unveiling of its new display,1960s and 1970s U.S. Presidential Campaign Memorabilia. Spanning three U.S. Presidential elections, the display offers a rare glimpse into an American cultural and political past perhaps not so far removed from the 2016 Presidential election. Through campaign buttons, travel back in time to 1964 and the Civil Rights Era, when Lyndon B. Johnson defeated Barry Goldwater. Items in the exhibit also capture the contest four years later, when, against a backdrop of global socio-political upheaval, the 1968 Presidential election pitted Richard Nixon against Hubert H. Humphrey. Brightly-hued mementos signify the showdown between incumbent Nixon and George McGovern in 1972. An array of buttons and wall art represents additional candidates and campaigning in this trio of elections.
The display is located on the upper level of Schmid Law Library.
Schmid Law Library thanks Patrick Sward, Nebraska College of Law Class of 1987, for his generous loan of items in the display.
