POLITICAL PRISONERS
Abbie Hoffman
(1936-1989) , one of the
"CHICAGO SEVEN"
a superb and creative agitator for peace,
justice, and America, was also the founder of
the
YIPPIES (the YOUTH INTERNATIONAL PARTY),
was arrested and charged on a
trumped
up
drug offence in 1973. He jumped to a new
location
(Canada) and later, a secret location in upstate
New York.  While the FBI was searching for him, Abbie,
a friend and fellow activist, kept in touch with us using
the
pseudonym, Barry Freed.  His Massachusetts accent
was always recognizable. He asked us to make up this
pin to keep his name before the public during his
imprisonment after he surrendered in 1980
and spent
a year in jail.
The button is in mint condition with no
damage, rust or discoloration. It has
the Fox Buttons credit line on the curl.
Made by and from the collection of
