Black Heritage: Constance Baker Motley Forever Stamps, 2024 Sheet – Cards, Letters and Stamp Collecting

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.

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.
