U.S. Mint final coin honors legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen
January 05, 2021

The United States Mint honors its final issue of its popular America the Beautiful Quarters Program by honoring the Tuskegee Airmen. The coin which had a Feb. 1 release date was issued on Monday due to an increased demand for circulating coins.

The new quarter displays the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site, Moton Field which pays homage to nearly 1,000 Black military pilots and more than 15,000 support staff who trained in Tuskegee during World War II.

According to the Mint, the design depicts a pilot with the Tuskegee Airmen suiting up to join the fight during World War II with the Moton Field control tower in the background. The pilot looks upward with pride and confidence as two P-51 Mustangs pass overhead. “They fought two wars” is arced across the top as a reference to the “dual battles the Tuskegee Airmen fought–fascism abroad and racial discrimination at home.”

On the other side is a 1932 portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan with the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “LIBERTY” and “IN GOD WE TRUST,” said the Mint.

“The legacy of our famed Tuskegee Airmen is forever marked with the release of the newly issued quarter by the U.S. Mint dedicated in their honor,” said Interim President, Dr. Charlotte P. Morris. “These sons and daughters of Mother Tuskegee fought battles, both in air and on land. They served our country with pride and dedication. This is a deserving recognition.”

According to the Bureau of the Federal Department of Treasury the Quarters Program was launched in 2010 and has highlighted a series of 56 quarter-dollar coins with tail-side designs depicting national parks and other national sites. The coins were released in the order the sites officially become a national historic site or park – the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site was established in 1998.

Moton Field was recognized as the only primary flight training facility for African American pilot candidates in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. Thus, the facility symbolizes the entrance of African American pilots into the Army Air Corps and the singular role of Tuskegee Institute in providing economic and educational resources to make that entry possible, although on a segregated basis.

The coin's design was created by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program designer Chris Costello and sculpted by United States Mint metallic artist Phebe Hemphill.

Did they have to put GW on the other side?

They put the image of a Black woman on Canadian currency not too long ago.

Been meaning to ask you if she has any ties to any of the families in your thread about powerful families?
She was biracial, and her Black father's name was James Albert Davis.

Benedict College Alumna and Activist, Septima Poinsette Clark Honored with a Collectible Coin by the United States Min
February 12, 2021
The American Innovation $1 Coin Program Pays Tribute to one of South Carolina’s Most Notable Civil Right Leaders



Benedict College alumna and civil rights leader Septima Poinsette Clark is being honored with a collectible coin issued by the United States Mint. The $1 coin depicts Septima Poinsette Clark marching with three Black students carrying books and an American flag. It illustrates education as the pathway to equality and freedom for Black people in America and highlights Clark as an educator and activist leading the way.

“Mrs. Septima Poinsette Clark is one of our most distinguished graduates and is most deserving of this celebrated honor. Clark developed literacy and citizenship workshops that played an important role in the drive for voting and civil rights. Unfortunately, many young people are unaware of the depth and breadth of her contributions. She was widely known as ‘Queen Mother’ to those who knew her. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., commonly referred to her as the ‘The Mother of the Movement,’ said Dr. Roslyn Clark Artis, President, and CEO of Benedict College. In fact, at his request, she accompanied Dr. King to Norway in 1964 when he was presented the Nobel Peace Prize. She is a trailblazer and a shero because she believed and understood that knowledge could empower marginalized people in ways that the legal equality system in this country could not. She pioneered the link between education and political organizing with the purpose of gaining the right to vote – thus, an equal voice as an American citizen.”


The Clark coin is part of an ongoing series called the American Innovation $1 Coin Program that pays tribute to pioneering individuals and groups and their accomplishments, from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories. Four coins are made each year through 2032.
