I made this replica for "Keep the Faith, Baby", a Showtime original movie about the life of Adam Clayton Powell Jr. The movie stars Hary Lennix as Adam Clayton Powell Jr. and Vanessa Williams as his wife, Hazel Scott. Adam Clayton Powell, was the first African-American congressman from the state of New York. Rep. Powell was made a member of the Order by Emperor Haile Selassie. The replica is gilt bronze filigree and measures approximately 2.75 inches (74 mm) tall
