Martin Luther King 1966 Milwaukee Riots CORE Freedom Now Civil Rights Movement

Description: DETAILS: Original pinback button issued by the Milwaukee chapter of the Congress Of Racial Equity (CORE) in support of leader MJartin Luther Kings Freedom Now civil rights campaign. Circa 1966. Button was distributed to protest marchers so that they could identify each other as well as to openly show segregationist that they would not be intimidated by threats of violence. Measures 1 1/4" inches. Rare. The Milwaukee chapter of CORE was established in 1959 focusing primarily on grass rots organization. However with the rise of the Black Power Movement (PBM) in 1966, they began to employ more militant outward forms of protest demanding the end of segregation in Milwaukee. Joining forces with the NAACP Youth Council (NAACPYC), CORE began organizing regular marches across Milwaukee in predominantly wealthy white neighborhoods. The groups peaceful protests became so inflammatory to white segregationists that by their third march on August 22, 1966, in Wauwatosa, they required several hundred National Guardsman and police to protect them from an estimated 4,000 hostile white protesters. Thus began the regular protest marches and sit ins that took place across Milwaukee until they culminated in th 1967 Milwaukee Riot.
