The USPS commemorates the Underground Railroad
03/10/2024
Our stamp design commemorating the Underground Railroad was issued yesterday, March 10, by the United States Postal Service.
The network of people, places, and routes known as the Underground Railroad functioned to help people in this country escape enslavement. The full pane of stamps honors ten people as representatives of the hundreds of anonymous people involved in successfully using and supporting the Underground Railroad. The words highlight experiences of those who took part, in colors alluding to the diversity of participants.
