Sherrod Gresham
Book description:
This book was written for the purpose of informing the reader about African Americans on U.S. Currency and Numismatic Materials: Coins and Medals.
The definition of Numismatics is the scientific analysis and study of money and the uses to which people have put money throughout history. When coin collectors use the word numismatics, though, they generally mean the study of coins in particular. A wider and more correct definition includes the study and collecting of all money-related items such as banknotes, tokens, medals, bullion rounds, etc.
As any devoted numismatist will attest, our coins, medals and U.S. paper money are tied to the American story, from the earliest colonial times to the birth of the United States, through the great gold and silver debates dominating American politics for much of the 19th century, and during generations of war and peace, prosperity and depression.
Sherrod N. Gresham, Jr. graduated from St. Augustine’s College with a B.A. Degree in Sociology and Social Welfare. Sherrod Gresham has worked in Human Services for thirty years providing guidance and support to neglected, abused youth and families in crisis. In his efforts to instill hope and confidence in his clients, he realized many African American children and adults are not aware of their cultural and American history. He believes that knowing the positive role our ancestors played in shaping history is one way to find hope and encouragement to make positive contributions ourselves.
