Remembering 'an icon'

Ethel Kessler, an art director for USPS, designed the stamp, with a portrait by Michael J. Deas based on a photograph by Philip Bermingham, according to the release.

The Supreme Court justice died in 2020 at the age of 87 after a lifelong career as both an activist attorney and "respected jurist whose important majority opinions advancing equality and strong dissents on socially controversial rulings made her a passionate proponent of equal justice and an icon of American culture," USPS wrote in an announcement last year.

The USPS said the stamp is being issued as a Forever stamp in panes of 20, and the stamps will always be equal in value to the current first-class mail 1-ounce price.
