1/4 × 2 3/16 in. (0.7 × 5.5 cm) Round pinback button, centered is a color portrait of Martin Luther King gazing to the right. He is wearing a dark jacket and tie with a white shirt; an American flag is rippling behind him. Under his face, in small red text, it reads "Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." and "January 20, 1986." Encircling the portrait is a gold stripe with a botanical spray and a white dove at the top. A black ring encloses and reads, in white text, "1986" and "Peace • Equality • Justice." Another gold ring is followed by a red rim. Along the back thin edge, in small white text, it reads "© 1985 Martin Luther King Center for Social Change, Inc." and "Sunset Specialties Washington, D.C.."
