Henry Louis Gates, Jr - US Postal Service Citizen's Stamp Advisory Committee
At this stage we all know of the unbridled racism that Henry Gates spewed at law officers late last month. But did you know that he is a member of the US Postal Service Citizen's Stamp Advisory Committee? This committee reviews and selects subjects and artwork for US postage stamps.
African American Heritage and Culture Series Stamps: On Feb 21, 2009 Gates participated in a first day ceremony in New York City to welcome the 42 cent Civil Rights Pioneers pane of six stamps.
And Gates himself has appeared on a stamp.
