Selma Burke was commissioned to create a portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt for the U.S. Mint, which led to her design being used for the Roosevelt dime. Her depiction of Roosevelt was chosen due to her artistic skill and the significance of the president, particularly in relation to his legacy during the Great Depression. Burke's work was notable not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of African American contributions to American art and history.
