    "PEACE"
    In 1966, The
    Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)
    officially threw its support behind the broader protest of the
    Vietnam War
    .
    As SNCC became more active politically, its members faced increased
    violence. In response, SNCC migrated from a philosophy of nonviolence
    to one of greater militancy as an advocate of the
    burgeoning
    “
    black power
    ” movement,  The shift was personified by
    Stokely Carmichael
    , who replaced
    John Lewis
    as SNCC chairman in
    1966–67. SNCC was disbanded by the early 1970s. We designed this button
    for John Lewis and SNCC in early 1966. It was one of the first
    signs that the Black Power Movement and the Peace Movement had
    joined in a stronger Movement for Peace and Justice.
    The pin has the Fox Buttons Credit Line
    along with a union bug on the curl.
    There is no rust or discolorations.
