{"product_id":"double-victory-wwii-civil-rights","title":"Double Victory, WWII Civil Rights","description":"\u003cp\u003e7\/8\" Double Victory button distributed by the Pittsburgh Courier. The Pittsburgh Courier was an African American owned newspaper that created the Double Victory Campaign in 1942, calling for democracy at home and abroad. Over 1 million African Americans served in WWII, their service was for a country that still did not grant them full rights as citizens, this hypocrisy was highlighted by the Double Victory campaign. African Americans and the Courier pointed out their military service and demanded full rights, and an end to segregation. Their goals were to end fascism abroad and racism at home.  \u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Overall, this scarce pinback is in excellent condition.
