Description
The Jackie Robinson stamp is an iconic symbol of the civil rights movement and the struggle for racial equality in America. Robinson was the first African American player to play in Major League Baseball, and his courage and determination to break the color barrier inspired generations of athletes and citizens to fight for civil rights and social justice. The stamp serves as a tangible reminder of Robinson‘s legacy and his groundbreaking achievement in baseball.
The stamp was issued on April 15, 1982, the 35th anniversary of Robinson‘s first game with the Brooklyn Dodgers, and was part of a series of stamps issued by the United States Postal Service honoring African Americans.

The stamp was immensely popular and quickly sold out, with millions of copies being issued. It has also been used as an important tool in African American education, with copies of the stamp being included in school curriculums to teach students about Robinson‘s legacy.
