Add to SetSummary
Protests against professional sports team names and logos that portray Indigenous peoples in a derogatory fashion emerged as part of the Indigenous civil rights movements of the mid-20th century. The campaign against the National Football League team headquartered near Washington, D.C., arguably represents the highest-profile example. This limited-edition coin commemorates the team's 2020 season when the franchise finally retired its controversial name and logo.
