Congress and Postal Service unveil stamp honoring John Lewis
House leaders and the head of the U.S. Postal Service unveiled a new stamp Wednesday honoring the late Rep. John Lewis.
The stamp design features a 2013 photograph of the Georgia Democrat taken by Marco Grob for Time magazine, according to a Postal Service news release. The selvage, or a stamp pane's margin, will feature a 1963 photograph taken by Steve Schapiro of Lewis outside a nonviolent protest workshop.
Here is the stamp.
Really? Not exactly his best photo.
I look forward to the postal service honoring a time when Louis DeJoy has been removed from office.
Not the best design for a stamp, but its nice to see him recognized. I highly recommend the March graphic novel (its sold either as a single book or three separate volumes), which he helped write. It's a very good overview of the civil rights movement, and touches on some of the things that are usually skipped.
