Curatorial Note:

The word “triunfa” in Spanish translates to “triumph” or “win” in English. It is uncertain whether the use of an “m” instead of the correct “n” on this button and other similar campaign ephemera was intentional or whether it was a simple misspelling that was not caught at the time of production. - Stephanie Allen-Givens, Collections and Exhibits Manager
