National Black History Month (National African-American History Month) each February serves as a reminder for all of us to think about the history and reflect upon the contributions of African Americans.
Rumors of the Black Heritage Stamp Series being discontinued are circulating again this year. But the Postal Service dispels these rumors as this long-standing popular series is a main component of the stamp program.
For more than 125 years, the Postal Service’s stamp program has celebrated the people, events, and cultural milestones that are unique to the history of our great nation. African Americans have always played a vital role in shaping that history. Our Black Heritage Stamp Series has paid tribute to African-American leaders, inventors, educators, scientists, entrepreneurs, entertainers, and athletes who appear in Publication 354, “African Americans on Stamps” at http://www.usps.com/cpim/ftp/pubs/pub354/welcome.htm.
