Go Red for Women
The American Heart Association’s signature women’s initiative, Go Red for Women, is a comprehensive platform designed to increase women’s heart health awareness and serve as a catalyst for change to improve the lives of women globally.
It’s no longer just about wearing red; it’s no longer just about sharing heart health facts. It’s about all women making a commitment to stand together with Go Red and taking charge of their own heart health as well as the health of those they can’t bear to live without. Making a commitment to your health isn’t something you have to do alone either, so grab a friend or a family member and make a Go Red Healthy Behavior Commitment today.

Selma Burke’s Portrait of President Franklin D. Roosevelt is What You See on the U.S. Dime!
Selma Burke (born December 31, 1900) was an American sculptor and educator who is best known for her sculpture of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, which can be seen on the U.S. dime.
Burke herself wrote to Roosevelt to request a live sitting, and in 1944, the president generously agreed to have her sculpt his portrait. Sadly, it is not highly publicized that she is responsible for an image that appears on a coin that millions of Americans use every single day.
Even more, many people don't know that she also created many other portraits of prominent African-Americans like Duke Ellington, Mary McLeod Bethune and Booker T. Washington.
As a woman who was very committed to teaching art to others, she established the Selma Burke Art School in New York City in 1946. She later also opened the Selma Burke Art Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Many of her sculptures can still be seen in various museums such as the Performing Arts Center in Milwaukee, the Hill House Center in Pittsburgh, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York City, the Smithsonian Museum of American Art, and more.
Ironically, she married an architect named Herman Kobbe, but he died shortly after their marriage. Burke, however, lived to be 94 years old. She died on August 29, 1995 of cancer in New Hope, Pennsylvania, where she had lived more than half her life.
Countdown to October 1, 2020
Countdown to October 1, 2020: Obtaining Your SC Real ID
Beginning October 1st of this year, anyone who wishes to fly on a commercial aircraft, access a federal facility, or enter a military installation will be required to present their passport, military ID, or their Real ID. Back in 2005, Congress passed the “Real ID Act” in response to the 9/11 Commission's recommendation that the Federal Government set the standard for the issuance of IDs, like driver’s licenses. To date, all 50 states and territories are fully compliant with the Real ID requirements.
According to the U.S. Travel Association, as of October 2019, some 99 million Americans do not have Real ID-compliant identification. That means, if the Real ID went into effect tomorrow, almost 80,000 people trying to board a plane would be denied. The Department of Homeland Security announced that only 27 percent of Americans have been issued a Real ID so far. That backs up the findings of a survey by the U.S. Travel Association, which discovered that 57 percent of Americans do not know about the changing ID requirements. Nearly 40 percent of US citizens do not have a Real ID or any other form of identification that will be accepted by the TSA.
Currently, only 25% of all South Carolinians have procured their Real ID.
