'19th Amendment: Women Vote' Stamp Debuts

A new Forever stamp, 19^th Amendment: Women Vote, will be issued on Saturday, August 22. The virtual stamp event, part of the Women’s Rights National Historical Park Equality Weekend, will be posted on the Postal Service’s Facebook and Twitter pages. Visit usps.com/19thamendment for details of the 11 a.m. EST virtual stamp dedication ceremony.

USPS Chief Commerce and Business Solutions Officer Jacqueline Krage Strako will be the dedicating official.

Inspired by historic photographs, the stamp art features a stylized illustration of suffragists marching in a parade or other public demonstration. The clothes they wear and the banners they bear display the official colors --- purple, white and gold ---of the National Woman’s Party.

More than 70 years in the making, the 19^th Amendment was added to the Constitution on August 26, 1920.
