EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing piece of history - the Indian Head penny owned by the Dennis family in 1863. Crafted by an unknown creator, this coin holds significant cultural and historical value. The front side features a profile of a white woman donning the headdress traditionally worn by Native American men. Surrounding the image are inscriptions that proudly declare "UNITED STATES" on its left and "OF AMERICA" on its right, with the mint year boldly displayed as "1863" below. Flipping to its reverse side, we find a striking design encompassing the denomination "ONE CENT". Encircling it is an elegant oak wreath, topped with a striped shield at its apex. This remarkable artifact from the 19th century symbolizes not only financial currency but also serves as a reminder of America's colonial past and imperialistic tendencies. Preserved within the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this Indian Head penny represents more than just metal and money; it embodies heritage art intertwined with black history. Its presence evokes contemplation about our country's complex past while honoring those who have contributed to shaping our nation. As we delve into this snapshot from another era, let us reflect upon how objects like these can serve as powerful conduits for understanding our shared cultural heritage and fostering conversations about identity, representation, and historical narratives in present-day America.
