Display setting of 7 buttons of various black history movements

In early September 2007 a noose was found hanging from a tree on the University of Maryland campus. The tree was located near a building used to house numerous black organizations, and the noose was clearly seen as an emotional reminder of the horrific crime and terror of lynching against blacks. This "Terps as One" button was distributed at a rally held on campus on September 11, 2007 to protest the racism and intolerance evoked by the noose.
