Buttons Up! Political Imagery through Campaign Buttons


Al Smith and Joe T. Robinson button from 1928

(Grades 4 to 9, available in the museum and as an outreach program)

Campaign buttons can say a lot about someone running for political office - just ask your grandparents about "I like Ike!" In this hour-long program, students will learn about the impact of political imagery as they study United States presidential campaign buttons - both old and new - from the museum's teaching collection. Following a short lesson and discussion, the students will create their own campaign buttons.
