The U.S. Postal Service cites the late Supreme Court justice's legacy of 'important majority opinions advancing equality and strong dissents on socially controversial rulings.'
As it announced the new stamp, the Postal Service noted Ginsburg's legacy of fighting for equal rights, including her"important majority opinions advancing equality and strong dissents on socially controversial rulings."
The Ginsburg stamp will be released in 2023 — 30 years after she was nominated to the Supreme Court by former President Bill Clinton. It features art by Michael J. Deas, a frequent stamp artist, and is based on a photograph by Philip Bermingham, according to the Postal Service. Ginsburg will be the first Supreme Court justice to get a solo stamp issue since 2003, when Thurgood Marshall was honored. U.S. stamps have featured a number of other justices over the years, including William Brennan Jr. and Louis Brandeis — part of a four-justice issue in 2009 — and Hugo Black and Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Other new Postal Service stamps for 2023 will honor author Toni Morrison, who died in 2019, and Chief Standing Bear, who secured a key legal victory in American Indians' fight for civil rights in the U.S.
