| "I Went to the Summit for Soviet Jews" Button, 1987. 2" R/W/B Celluloid. On December 6, 1987, hundreds of thousands of persons converged on Washington, D.C. to join a protest on the Capitol Mall against the repression of Soviet Jews. Known as "Freedom Sunday," the event sent a powerful message to the Soviet leadership that the cause of the "refuseniks" had become a political issue in the United States. Shortly thereafter, the USSR began releasing Jews for emigration to Israel. An attractive and historic piece. $17.00 |
