In-Person at the KDH Library & Virtually via Zoom
In the beginning, US stamps were monochromatic and mostly depicted busts and portraits of old men. The first woman on a US postage stamp wasn't even an American. Telling the story of women's progress on stamps got off to a rocky start, which included demonstrations in Washington DC in the mid-1930s. Today women are featured prominently on US stamps. Stamp tell amazing stories.
