Description
The Frederick Douglass stamp, released in 2017 by the United States Postal Service, honors the renowned abolitionist and civil rights leader, Frederick Douglass. The stamp celebrates Douglass’s tireless advocacy for human rights and social justice, and his influential role in the abolitionist movement and the fight against slavery in the United States.
Douglass was born into slavery in Maryland in 1818 and escaped to freedom in 1838. He became a leader in the abolitionist movement and was an eloquent orator, writer and publisher. He often spoke out against slavery, inequality and prejudice and traveled extensively in the United States and abroad to promote human rights and civil rights. He advocated for women’s rights and was a major influence in the early stages of the civil rights movement.
The stamp honoring Douglass is part of the USPS Black Heritage series of Forever stamps, which honors influential African Americans who have made significant contributions to American culture and history. The stamp is a fitting tribute to Douglass, who dedicated his life to the fight for human rights and social justice, and whose legacy continues to inspire generations of Americans.
