Out of roll

The American Women Quarters honor a diverse group of notable American women who made significant contributions in a variety of fields, including suffrage, civil rights, abolition, government, humanities, science, space, and the arts. The women honored are from ethnically, racially, and geographically diverse backgrounds.

Ida B. Wells was a prolific educator, investigative journalist, suffragist, and civil rights activist. She fought for justice and equality throughout her life and used her powerful voice to expose violence against African Americans in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The reverse (tail) design features Ida B. Wells as she gazes courageously and proudly toward the future. Inscriptions are ?UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,? ?E PLURIBUS UNUM,? ?IDA B. WELLS,? ?25 CENTS,? ?JOURNALIST, SUFFRAGIST, CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST.?

The obverse (heads) depicts a portrait of George Washington. This design was originally composed and sculpted by Laura Gardin Fraser as a candidate entry for the 1932 quarter, which honored the bicentennial of George Washington?s birth. Inscriptions are ?LIBERTY,? ?IN GOD WE TRUST,? and ?2025.?
