DCABP introduces its Lifetime Membership Lapel Pin

The Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People (DCABP) is proud to introduce its Lifetime Membership Lapel Pin. Designed by Chairman Floyd B. McKissick, Jr and Public Relations Chairwoman Glyndola Massenburg-Beasley, the pin is a distinguished symbol of commitment, leadership, and enduring service to the mission and legacy of the organization. Crafted in rich black and gold tones, the pin reflects the strength, resilience, and excellence that have defined the Durham Committee since its founding in 1935. The elegant design honors the organization's long-standing role as a champion for civil rights, civic engagement, economic empowerment, educational advancement, and community advocacy.

The black background symbolizes strength, unity, and perseverance, while the gold accents represent achievement, leadership, and the lasting impact of those who invest in the future of the organization. The prominent "1935" pays tribute to the founding year of the Durham Committee and the generations of leaders whose vision and sacrifice helped shape Durham and beyond. The radiating sunburst elements signify hope, progress, and the continued pursuit of opportunity and justice for future generations.

Reserved exclusively for Lifetime Members, this commemorative lapel pin serves as both a badge of honor and a visible reminder of a member's enduring commitment to the Durham Committee's mission. It recognizes individuals whose investment helps sustain the organization's work and preserve its legacy for years to come. More than a pin, it is a symbol of stewardship, leadership, and a shared dedication to strengthening the Black community through advocacy, accountability, and collective action.

The Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People (DCABP) also introduces its official Sustaining Membership Lapel Pin, a distinguished symbol recognizing individuals whose ongoing financial commitment helps strengthen and sustain the organization's mission, advocacy, and community impact.

Crafted in an elegant brushed silver finish, the lapel pin reflects the values of integrity, service, leadership, and dedication that have guided the Durham Committee since its founding in 1935. The prominent display of "1935" honors the organization's rich legacy as one of Durham's most respected civic and advocacy organizations, while the engraved name of the Durham Committee serves as a reminder of its enduring commitment to advancing the social, educational, economic, and political interests of African Americans and the broader community.

The silver design symbolizes strength, wisdom, accountability, and steadfast commitment. Unlike temporary recognition, the Sustaining Membership Pin represents an ongoing investment in the future of the organization and the communities it serves. It signifies a member's willingness to provide consistent support that helps fund civic engagement efforts, voter education, leadership development, scholarship programs, advocacy initiatives, and community outreach activities.

Reserved exclusively for Sustaining Members, this lapel pin is more than an accessory—it is a badge of commitment and a visible expression of support for the Durham Committee's mission and legacy.
