About This Design

RFK Senator - Button

RFK Senator - Button

Robert F. Kennedy won the U.S. Senate seat from New York in November 1964. During his years as a senator, Kennedy helped start a successful redevelopment project in poverty-stricken Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn in New York City, visited the Mississippi Delta as a member of the Senate committee reviewing the effectiveness of 'War on Poverty' programs and, reversing his prior stance, called for a halt in further escalation of the Vietnam War. As Senator, Kennedy endeared himself to African Americans, and other minorities such as Native Americans and immigrant groups. He spoke forcefully in favour of what he called the "disaffected," the impoverished, and "the excluded," thereby aligning himself with leaders of the civil rights struggle and social justice campaigners, leading the Democratic party in a pursuit of a more aggressive agenda to eliminate perceived discrimination on all levels. Kennedy supported desegregation bussing, integration of all public facilities, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and anti-poverty social programs to increase education, offer opportunities for employment, and provide health care for African-Americans. Senator Kennedy had cautioned President Johnson against commitment of U.S. ground troops in Vietnam as early as 1965, and strongly advocated withdrawal in 1967, within a week of Martin Luther King taking the same public stand. Consistent with President Kennedy's Alliance for Progress, Robert Kennedy placed increasing emphasis on human rights as a central focus of U.S. foreign policy.

The product looks so beautiful!!! Thank you so much, you did a great job printing it. It has everything I ever wanted and the shiny finish is just perfect. The metal back really complements the picture. Thank You! ;). The image was great. All the colours were there and the writing was readable.

Round Badge, Small, 3.2 cm (1.25")
I got the 5.7 cm (2.25") badge and it was very large! (In a good way). Printing was great - ordered for me and a friend, she was very happy with it. Printing was amazing - not off-center or just bad quality
