Description
The Booker T. Washington Stamp issued by the United States Postal Service is a fitting tribute to the renowned African American educator, author, and leader from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The portrait of Washington on the stamp captures the determined yet kind demeanor of the man who was born into slavery and went on to become a major civil rights leader. The image of the Tuskegee Institute, the vocational school for African Americans that Washington founded, also appears on the stamp as a reminder of his work. The stamp was issued in 1940 as part of the Famous Americans series of stamps and its release marked a significant milestone in the recognition of African American leaders in the United States. The Booker T. Washington stamp stands as a lasting symbol of Washington’s legacy and his commitment to education, equality, and progress.
