Martin Luther King Jr.’s transistor radio
Wow. Here is the transistor radio owned by Martin Luther King Jr. Not exactly a history of the button, but a cool piece in the history of technology. I can picture him listening to a baseball game, Hank Aaron up to bat.

Saw this in an exhibit located in Terminal E of the Atlanta airport. They also had his marked up copy of Gandhi.
I’d like to see Buckminster Fuller’s radio.
