Product Description

On October 1, 2016, in Charleston, SC, the U.S. Postal Service issued the Kwanzaa stamp, in one design, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 stamps (Item 556600). The stamp went on sale nationwide October 1, 2016. This bright and colorful new stamp design celebrates the annual non-religious holiday of Kwanzaa, which takes place over seven days from December 26 to January 1. December 26, 2016, marks the 50th anniversary of this widely celebrated holiday. Kwanzaa derives its name from the phrase ''first fruits'' in Swahili. The holiday honors African-American family, community, and culture. The stamp art features a young African-American woman as the embodiment of Africa. She wears a lavender dress with a collar of African design that also appears in her earring. A large purple bowl overflows with fruits and vegetables, symbolizing the abundance of African first harvest celebrations. Artist Synthia Saint James worked with art director Greg Breeding, who designed the stamp. This listing is for a sheet of 20 new stamps
