Abstract:
The Roosevelt dime bears initials visible when magnified. Interviews with Selma Burke also provided a kind of magnification for this coin: its true story. Her sculpture of Roosevelt was the model for the image of the president presented. Happening long before the Civil Rights movement, Roosevelt’s selection of Burke is prescient. Even if a unanimous acknowledgment of Burke as the creator does not happen, she is an inspiration for African Americans.
