Honor a civil rights pioneer and the first African American woman known to have argued a case before the United States Supreme Court with the new Constance Baker Motley stamp from the U.S. Postal Service.
The 47th stamp in the Black Heritage series depicts a portrait of Motley by Charly Palmer rendered in acrylic on canvas. The stenciled circular shapes around her head suggest royalty, and the heavy brushstrokes and scratches provide added textures.
The Constance Baker Motley stamp is being issued as a Forever stamp. These Forever stamps will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate.
