This undated line drawing released by the U.S. Mint shows a new $1 coin that features Elizabeth Peratrovich, a young Alaska Native woman who left an impression on Alaska's territorial Senate in 1945 by persuading the body to pass one of the nation's first anti-discrimination laws. The U.S. Mint unveiled the design on Oct. 5, 2019, at the Alaska Native Brotherhood and Alaska Native Sisterhood convention in Anchorage. The coin features a portrait of the late civil rights leader, composed and graceful, her hair in tight rolls, above words that highlight her legacy: "Anti-discrimination Law of 1945." An image of a raven, depicting her Tlingit lineage, soars near her. The 2020 Native American coin will go on sale early next year. (U.S. Mint via AP)
