Description
2.5" w/"US Pat. Applied For Louis Udell Guthrie" on curl. Outstanding graphics featuring an African American and White soldier sharing one set of chained legs w/an eagle carrying the "Bill Of Rights" and a waving American flag at right. Scattered and faint light gray dots in cream background. Otherwise only light surface wear. Exc. Despite Harry Truman issuing Executive Order 9981 in the summer of 1948 desegregating the military many commanders ignored it. Truman dismissed Gen. MacArthur in 1951 causing a more rapid transition under Gen. Matthew Ridgeway. This is only the third example of this button we have encountered in our 54 years.
