From the National Park Service and ESPER:

On Tuesday, September 19, 2023, at 11 A.M. at the African Burial Ground National Monument, 290 Broadway, New York, New York, the U.S. National Park Service in collaboration with The Black Women’s Leadership Caucus, Inc. will host a Special Dedication and Unveiling of the Forever U.S. Postage Stamp of The Honorable Congressman John A. Lewis. The stamp celebrates the life and legacy of Congressman Lewis who spent more than 30 years in Congress and a lifetime defending our democracy – our civil rights.

The Rev. Al Sharpton is our keynote speaker. The program includes the U.S. Postal Service Color Guard, a member of the Metropolitan Opera, an aspiring spoken word artist and gift bags to the first 50 guests. Stamps and other John Lewis memorabilia will be available for purchase.

The event is free and open to the public, and no reservation is required. However, “Security at 290 Broadway is airport-like; travel light, no large bags,” says the National Park Service.
