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.

Abstract:
The Toe River Valley in Marshall and Yancey counties is a hotbed for the arts. The population of the two counties is around 30,000 and of that number it is estimated that more than 500 are artists--one of the highest concentrations of artists in the world. Markovich states there are two reasons for this--Harvey Littleton and the Penland School of Crafts at Spruce Pine. Littleton, who came to Spruce Pine in 1977, gained recognition first as a ceramist and later as a glassblower and sculptor in glass. Penland, founded in 1929 by Lucy Morgan, has gained world-wide recognition as a destination for artists.

Abstract:
Jeremy Markovich explains why there is no need to be sad or upset every time a building is torn down in Charlotte. The way he sees it, they’re not tearing down history, they’re tearing down old and outdated buildings that are hard to miss once something nicer has replaced it.
