Selma Burke
Tumblr media
Selma Burke was born in 1900 in Mooresville, North Carolina. Art historians believe that Burke's bronze relief sculpture of Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the basis for his image on the dime. This sculpture, however, was just part of a long and distinguished artistic career. Burke, who described herself as "a people's sculptor", created sculptures of notable African-Americans such as A. Philip Randolph and Duke Ellington. She completed her final piece, a sculpture of Martin Luther King, Jr., in 1980.
Selma Burke died in 1995 at the age of 94.

Adieu to truly great trailblazer Harry Belafonte (1 March 1927 – 25 April 2023), who’s died aged 96. He was a singer (who popularized calypso music in the 50s), actor of stage and screen, outspoken civil rights activist (on close terms with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr) and – as this vintage pin-up amply demonstrates – a raving beauty.
