1969 Louis Abolafia “The Love Candidate” New York City Mayoral Campaign Pinback Button
1969 — 2 1/4 inches
Rare political pinback button promoting Louis Abolafia’s 1969 campaign for mayor of New York City. Featuring a black-and-white portrait of Abolafia, the button reads “Louis Abolafia,” “The Love Candidate,” and “New York’s Mayor in ’69.”
An artist and counterculture activist, Abolafia became known for his unconventional political campaigns, which embraced the era’s themes of love, peace, and personal freedom. His 1969 mayoral campaign reflected the alternative political expression emerging from New York’s Greenwich Village counterculture. This scarce button is an evocative artifact of late-1960s political and counterculture history.
