On February 21, 2009, in New York, New York, the Postal Service™ will issue a 42–cent, Civil Rights Pioneers commemorative stamp in six designs, designed by Greg Berger of Bethesda, Maryland.
With these stamps, the U.S. Postal Service® honors 12 leaders of the struggle for African–American civil rights. These visionary men and women energized a movement that spanned generations. Art director Ethel Kessler and stamp designer Greg Berger, both of Bethesda, Maryland, chose to approach this project through photographic montage. Pairing two pioneers on each stamp was a way of intensifying the montage effect.
