John Lewis Stamps – Forever First Class Postage Stamps

John Lewis Stamps
Forever 82￠ | Sheet Stamp Format

With this stamp, the U.S. Postal Service celebrates the life and legacy of civil rights leader and congressman John Lewis (1940–2020). Devoted to equality and justice for all Americans, Lewis spent more than 30 years in Congress steadfastly defending and building on key civil rights gains that he had helped achieve in the 1960s. Even in the face of hatred and violence, as well as some 45 arrests, Lewis remained resolute in his commitment to what he liked to call “good trouble.”

The stamp features a photograph of Lewis taken by Marco Grob on assignment for the August 26, 2013, issue of?Time magazine. The selvage showcases a photograph of Lewis taken by Steve Schapiro in 1963 outside a workshop about nonviolent protest in Clarksdale, Mississippi.

The?John Lewis?stamp is being issued as a Forever? stamp. This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail? one-ounce price.
