Description

The Centennial of Booker T. Washington stamp is a symbol of the tremendous progress that African Americans have made in the past century. It pays homage to the life and legacy of a man who, despite the odds, dedicated his life to helping his people rise up and achieve success. Born a slave in 1856, Washington worked hard to escape his circumstances and, through education, eventually became a teacher and a leader of the African American community. In 1895, he delivered his famous Atlanta Compromise speech, which called for racial harmony and economic progress for African Americans. Washington‘s vision of progress through education and industry was an inspiration to generations of African Americans and a reminder that change is possible. The Centennial of Booker T. Washington stamp is a fitting tribute to this great man and his legacy of hope and progress.
