2023 Ruth Bader Ginsburg Forever First Class Postage Stamps
Description:
The United States Postal Service today released a new Forever stamp honoring the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The stamp¡¯s unveiling took place at the Smithsonian¡¯s National Portrait Gallery during a first-day-of-issue dedication ceremony that was open to the public.
Designed by Ethel Kessler, an art director for USPS, with a Michael J. Deas oil painting based on a photograph by Philip Bermingham, the stamp captures the 107th U.S. Supreme Court justice in her black judicial robe and favorite white-lace collar.
¡°Justice Ginsburg was an iconic figure who dedicated her life to public service and the pursuit of justice,¡± said USPS Board of Governors Chairman Roman Martinez IV. ¡°She was a true pioneer, and it is our honor to celebrate her incredible legacy in this way. This stamp serves not just as a tribute but as an inspiration for future generations to uphold the values she fought for.¡±
Joining Martinez for the ceremony were Nina Totenberg, legal affairs correspondent at National Public Radio; Lori Dym, USPS procurement and property law managing counsel; Elizabeth Glazer, founder of the public safety nonprofit Vital City; and Ginsburg¡¯s granddaughter Clara Spera, a lecturer at Harvard Law School and senior associate at WilmerHale.
