Madeleine Albright championed democracy with her pins
Noelani Kirschner - March 22, 2022

Madeleine Albright is the first woman to have served as U.S. secretary of state. While in this role, she utilized an unconventional and effective tool for diplomacy on America’s behalf: pins worn on her suit lapels.

During the 2000 summit in Moscow between the United States and Russia, Albright says President Vladimir Putin told Clinton “he routinely checked to see what brooch I was wearing and tried to decipher its meaning. When he asked why I was wearing my three monkeys ‘Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil, See No Evil’ pins, I responded that it was because of Russia’s heavy-handed approach in Chechnya, which included significant human rights violations.

“Putin became furious, President Clinton looked at me in disbelief and I feared I had jeopardized the summit,” she continued. “Looking back, I am proud I wore the ‘evil’ pins.”
