The history never taught in history books. DROPPIN’ DIMES • Never paid a dime fir her creation, Selma Hortense Burke (December 31, 1900 – August 29, 1995) was an American sculptor and a member of the Harlem Renaissance movement. Burke is best known for a bas relief portrait of President Franklin D. Roosevelt that inspired the profile found on the obverse of the #dime. She described herself as "a people's #sculptor" and created many pieces of public art, often portraits of prominent African-American figures like Duke Ellington, Mary McLeod Bethune and Booker T. Washington.[3][4] In 1979, she was awarded the Women's Caucus for #Art Lifetime Achievement Award. • #SelmaBurke #droppindimes #herstory #merica #murica #teamdl #blacklivesmatter #america #usa #unitedstates #circa #bhm #thisisamerica #morethanamonth #history #america #justice #blackhistory #melanin #history #africanamerican #blackhistorymonth #morethanamonth #patriot https://www.instagram.com/p/CLB9pMWgYOz/?igshid=1ckhorfcz3rf3
