Twenty years after her death, salsa queen Celia Cruz has made history and will become the first Afro Latina to grace the U.S. quarter.
The prolific Cuban American singer, whose career spanned seven decades, is an honoree as a part of the American Women Quarters Program, the U.S. Mint announced last week.
She will appear alongside honorees such as Patsy Takemoto Mink, the first woman of color to serve in Congress, and Zitkala-Sa, also known as Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, an artist who fought for Native American civil rights.
