{"value"=>"<p>The file mostly contains sources on the controversy of the U.S. dime design, which referenced Selma Burke's portrait of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Also features Chapter 17 \"The Roosevelt Dime\" from Ted Schwarz' book <span class=\"title\">A History of United States</span>. The book contextualizes how John Sinnock, chief engraver at the U.S. mint in 1945, copied Selma Burke's bronze portrait plaque of President Roosevelt to create the design of the U.S. dime. The artist file also includes transparencies of Burke's work, an obituary published in <span class=\"title\">Jet</span> magazine, and photocopies of letters between Burke and notable New York Public Library (NYPL) figures such as Arturo Schomburg and Franklin F. Hopper, the latter of which served as the director of NYPL from 1941 to 1946.</p>"}
