Recognize this?

It’s FDR in one the most well-known presidential portraits and is featured on the US dime.

It was sculped by Selma Burke, a black sculptor and a pioneer in the Harlem Renaissance.

Happy black history month!

Ironically Bougie Black people like pointing out lesser known artists are better than Beyonce. For an example. “Lauryn Hill shits on Beyonce” or “I wish Janelle Monae had the attention Beyonce has” or “I prefer Adele”. Even though that person probably hasn’t heard a full album from any of them.
