A stamp honoring Georgia Congressman John Lewis, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2020, will be available for purchase next year, the U.S. Postal Service announced Tuesday.
The preliminary design for the Lewis stamp uses a photograph of him from the Aug. 26, 2013, issue of Time magazine. The then-73-year-old lawmaker is wearing a dark suit and blue tie and staring straight into the camera.
The margin paper, also known as selvage, will showcase a second photograph of Lewis taken in 1963 in Clarksdale, Mississippi, as he was conducting workshops on nonviolent protests.
