1 Dollar (Civil Rights Act of 1964)
Obverse: Three people holding hands at a civil rights march with a man holding a sign reading “We Shall Overcome”., Reverse: Three flames intertwined to symbolize the freedom of education, freedom to vote, and freedom to control one’s own destiny. The design was inspired by a quote from Dr. Martin Luther King: “They get the fire hose. They fail to realize that water can only put out physical fire. But water can never drown the fire of freedom.”
