I was looking at the serigraph again this morning and thinking about how it really needs to be on a stamp so it can travel into people's homes everywhere. It has been such a journey talking to folks who remember seeing the piece in various city halls or schools which honestly feels like the whole point of this project.

YES. Rosa Parks changed everything. Keep her memory alive for the next generation.
This would be an amazing tribute. She deserves to be honored this way and the artist did a beautiful job with that piece.
Finally. Why hasn't this been done yet?? Such a powerful image of her.
long overdue!! she is a hero to us all. put this on a stamp already.
Beautiful artwork. Need to see this honored.

I see this serigraph in the school and it always catches my eye. It would look perfect as a stamp. Hope this happens soon.
