Description
The Richard Wright Stamp issued by USPS honors the renowned author and civil rights activist, Richard Wright. The stamp features a portrait of Wright against a backdrop of snowflakes and the title of his most famous novel, “Native Son”, with his name and the words “USA First Class” in bold letters. Wright was one of the most important writers of the 20th century, known for his searing portrayals of racism and poverty in America. He was also a prominent voice in the struggle for civil rights, using his writing to expose the injustices of segregation and discrimination. The stamp recognizes Wright’s lasting impact on American literature and his powerful contributions to the fight for racial equality, and celebrates his legacy as a trailblazer and visionary. It was issued in 2009 as part of the Black Heritage series of commemorative stamps.
