\"\"<\/a>About two years ago, I introduced myself as a numismatist (collector of money) and published four blogs that intersected my hobby with my profession as a diversity, equity and inclusion consultant.<\/a> <\/strong>

In June, 2020 – \u201cBlack Lives Matter and the $20 Bill \u2013 an Awful American Travesty,\u201d<\/a><\/strong> I recounted the very sad story of how the approved plans to place African-American abolitionist Harriet Tubman on our $20 bill got derailed.

In July, 2020, I followed with – \u201cA Black Lives Matter and an American Coinage Travesty \u2013 blog 2,\u201d<\/a><\/strong> I recount the sad story of a Ku Klux Klan-inspired coin.

Then in December, 2020 – I connect our nation\u2019s monetary currency to diversity issues: in \u201cBrother, Can You Spare a Dime\u201d<\/a><\/strong> I recount how Republicans during the Great Depression attempted to censure this song.<\/p>\r\n

In my 4th blog of the series, I wrote about women around the world featured on paper money and coinage.<\/a><\/strong> Included in that blog where photos of the first two quarters of the USA\u2019s latest American women quarter series:

Maya Angelou<\/strong> \u2013 celebrated African-American writer, performer, and social activist

Dr. Sally Ride<\/strong> \u2013 physicist, astronaut, educator, and first American woman in space. Also a visible and out lesbian.<\/p>\r\n

Now, in the second half of 2023, the next three quarters were released:<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a>Wilma Mankiller<\/strong> \u2013 an activist within the Native American community and the first woman elected as deputy chief and elevated to principal chief of the Cherokee Nation. She was active in San Francisco\u2019s social and political movements, particularly those affecting Native Americans. In 1977, she returned to the Cherokee Nation and founded the Community Development Department for the Cherokee Nation. She was named Ms. Magazine\u2019s \u201cWoman on the Year\u201d in 1987.

Nina Otero-Warren<\/strong> \u2013 A leader for women suffrage and in bridging the gap between New Mexico\u2019s Spanish-speaking and English-speaking communities. She was the first Latina in the USA to run for Congress but did lose the election. She served as Superintendent of Instruction with Santa Fe, New Mexico schools and served on the state Board of Health and was an advocate for literacy through her work with the Works Progress Administration (WPA).

Anna May Wong<\/strong> \u2013 Trailblazing first Asian-American movie star. During her career, though she was acclaimed as an outstanding actress, she was mostly casted in stereotypical Asian roles. Later in her career, she became the first Asian-American to play a leading role in a television series, and she continually fought for fair representation of Asian-Americans in the performing arts.

What is remarkable is the wonderful diversity of these first five quarters featuring Black, Lesbian, Latino, Native American and Asian women.

Now be looking for these quarters in your change!<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
