Leaders of the U.S.House of Representatives & the head of the United States Postal Service today unveiled the new stamp honoring late civil rights leader, Rep. John R. Lewis. The stamp design features a 2013 photograph of the Georgia Democrat taken by Marco Grob for Time magazine.

"Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”

—Rep. John Lewis (1940-2020)
