The year 2025 marks the end of the U.S. Mint’s American Women Quarter program. The following year, 2026, will see new quarters, a new dime, and a new half-dollar, all to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

What we know today as the Underground Railroad has origins just as long. There are many misconceptions surrounding the Underground Railroad. It wasn’t run by a single organization or person but was, in fact, a network of individuals. While many whites participated, it was predominantly made up of black people.
