See the Harvey Milk stamp to be debut on May 22!
I only mail a few letters each month but I can tell you right now that whatever I mail from here on out, it will be with a Harvey Milk commemorative stamp.
Well, at least once they become available in May!
It’s a wonderful tribute to a great man and it is so well-deserved.
We’ve known since last fall that the slain civil rights hero was going to be honored with a US postage stamp.
What was not known until this week was what it would look like.
The stamp is to be issued on May 22 – Harvey Milk Day – and will feature a black and white photo of the late San Francisco Supervisor who will be the first openly gay elected public official to be featured on a stamp.
It also features the colors of the gay rainbow flag up in the upper left corner, according to an image obtained by Linns Stamp News.
Both San Francisco and Washington DC are being considered as possible cities for the stamp to make its debut.
It will be a ‘Forever Stamp’ which seems fitting since Harvey is someone we will remember forever.
