Exhibit
Exhibiting The Butler
A R T I F A C T S:
Presidential Campaign Pins:
Presidential campaign pins were brought in with almost every new president term in the movie and was given to the servants, including Cecil Gaines, by some presidents, such as Nixon and LBJ, to promote their message. Also to gain votes from the "black" community, especially used with Nixon's campaign. I have acquired these authentic campiagn pins of the presidents shown in the movie, off eBay, friends and family, and / or historical memorials. I am displaying them as the clip to hold the napkins on the table together.
Freedom Bus 1961:
The Freedom Riders were significant role players during the Civil Rights movement and an important concept in the movie. Louise and his class were on that bus in Montgomery, AL during the movie, and showed the ruthless behavior from "whites" during the Civil Rights era. I have acquired the Freedom Bus from the METRA campus in the Freedom Express Bus Museum. I am displaying the bus in the foyer of the venue, for guests to first see and impress this dinner party is about a serious past.
Klu Klux Klan uniform:
The Klu Klux Klan was a major threat to the "black" community. The Klan would set fire, create havoc, kill / beat any citizen characterizing as "black". They were the ones to stop the Freedom Bus and set it on fire, they blocked the riders by waving torches and shouting. If you saw a tall, white, cone hat, you would run the other way with all your life. I have acquired these uniforms from the National Museum of American History, displaying them along the walls of the dining room.
Jackie Kennedy's outfit from President Kennedy's assassination:
Jackie Kennedy wore a vibrant baby pink matching jacket and skirt, it became infamous for it was what she wore when her husband, President Kennedy, was shot by her side. His blood splattered on the suit, and soon to be memorialized for she refused to take it off to show the public what they did to her husband and to their president. I have acquired this outfit from the City of New York Museum and have displayed it on the opposite wall from the KKK uniform, also distributing the watermelon pink color throughout the party decor.
The Constitution of the United States:
The term, "Constitution", is defined by a composition, structure, form and a body of fundamental principles, a social code of the states. I think the Constitution of the United States both represents the form of the Civil Rights movement and also the principles these people were against. I acquired this from the National Archives building and displayed it as one of the main attraction to the dinner table, a centerpiece.
Little Rock Newspaper:
This Arkansas newspaper headed the incident of the Little Rock Nine of 1957. It displays and explains the incident and how the authorities told the story to the public. I have acquired this from the NewsuemED, and is displayed as one of the centerpieces of the dinner table and copied into the placemats of the silverware.

This, one of many button, respresents MLK presence and influence in the Civil Rights community. His speeches were also a huge part of the protesting movement and the Black Panthers. I have acquired this button from NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, displaying it along with the presidential campaign pins on the napkins.
The Black Panther party were young "black" students and protesters fighting for their rights. This poster clearly shows their aggressive message of protest, their perspective. I have acquired this poster from the New York Society Museum and Library and have displayed this multiple times long the walls of the foyer, in the same area of the Freedom Bus.
