In 1938, The Union Commerce Bank, originally known as the Union Bank of Commerce, was founded in Cleveland, Ohio. Post-World War II, the bank changed its name, added more services, and expanded its reach to serve the newly created suburbs, eventually numbering over 40 branches. In 1949, the bank moved into the Union Trust Building located in downtown Cleveland. The bank endured financial troubles in the 1960s-1970s and ultimately was acquired by a larger Columbus-based company, Huntington Bancshares, in 1983.

The slogan “You Gotta Have Art” was used by the Detroit Institute of Arts in a 1976 commercial to encourage people to visit the museum. The almost humorous, joyful commercial features people singing and dancing to a cover based on the song “Heart” from the musical Damn Yankees. The word "heart" was replaced with "art". This commercial was recirculated in 2013, when the city filed for bankruptcy and considered selling some of its 2,800 works of art, which valued around $454 million to $867 million. The message of this 1976 campaign, printed on this button, again became relevant.

In 1992, Bill Clinton ran for president against incumbent president George Bush. President Bush faced opposition from within the Republican party due to breaking his pledge to not raise taxes during his first term. Democratic candidate Bill Clinton gained popularity until his campaign was threatened by evidence of a twelve-year marital affair. With both candidates facing problems during their campaigns, the opportunity arose for a third-party candidate to gain momentum. Ross Perot secured almost nineteen percent of the vote, while Bush received about thirty-seven percent of the vote. Bill Clinton won with forty-three percent of the vote, and his presidency ended a twelve-year stint of Republican presidents.

"Musicians against war" likely references the protests held by musicians during the Vietnam War. In the early 1960s, various folk singers used music to spread antiwar messages. Through antiwar rallies and concerts, musicians entertained the audiences in hopes of encouraging support against war. Some of the notable musicians participating in the protests include Phil Ochs, who performed at multiple rallies and concerts throughout the country, including a sold-out performance at Carnegie Hall. Although most of the songs are about antiwar, some songs express grief over the death of soldiers, and other songs express pain for those staying at home. The music protests against war helped pave the way for living in a better world and have peace.
