La leyenda de la salsa Celia Cruz, fallecida en 2003, ha vuelto a hacer historia al ser elegida para aparecer en la moneda de un cuarto de d\u00f3lar en 2024, como la primera afrolatina en ser seleccionada para este homenaje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La cadena de televisi\u00f3n estadounidense ABC News inform\u00f3 este mi\u00e9rcoles de que Cruz, nacida en La Habana en 1925 pero que emigr\u00f3 a EE.UU. en la edad adulta, ha sido seleccionada por la Casa de la Moneda de EE.UU. para su iniciativa \u00abAmerican Women Quarters Programa\u00bb (Programa de Cuartos de D\u00f3lar para Mujeres Estadounidenses).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En virtud de ese programa, que se desarrolla entre 2022 y 2025, la Casa de la Moneda emite cada a\u00f1o piezas de 25 c\u00e9ntimos de d\u00f3lar para homenajear a cinco mujeres \u00ab\u00e9tnica, racial y geogr\u00e1ficamente diversas\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Las homenajeadas van desde figuras relevantes en el campo de los derechos civiles, la ciencia, el Gobierno, las artes o el espacio, entre otros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Las otras cuatro elegidas junto a Cruz para aparecer en la moneda son Patsy Takemoto Mink, la primera mujer no blanca en llegar al Congreso de EE.UU.; Mary Edwards, cirujana, activista proderechos civiles y abolicionista; la reverendo Pauli Murray, poeta, escritora y abogada; y Zitkala-Sa, conocida como Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, escritora, compositora y activista por los derechos de los nativos americanos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Los dise\u00f1os para las monedas de un cuarto de d\u00f3lar de 2024 ser\u00e1n dados a conocer a mediados de 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cruz comenz\u00f3 a cantar en su Cuba natal en una de las orquestas m\u00e1s populares de la \u00e9poca, Sonora Matancera. Despu\u00e9s de la revoluci\u00f3n en la isla entre 1953 y 1959, Cruz emigr\u00f3 a EE.UU. en 1961 y contribuy\u00f3 a definir el sonido de la salsa como se entiende hoy en d\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lo largo de su carrera de m\u00e1s seis d\u00e9cadas, Cruz dej\u00f3 su impronta personal en los escenarios con actuaciones llenas de energ\u00eda, su voz poderosa y una presencia imponente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La \u00abreina de la salsa\u00bb falleci\u00f3 en 2003 a los 77 a\u00f1os de edad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
