Item Description
Detailed DescriptionThe Althea Gibson Forever® is the 36th stamp in the Black
Heritage series. It honors Althea Gibson (1927-2003), a pioneering
tennis player who became the first black Wimbledon champion. The tall,
lean Gibson was fast, had a long reach, and relied on a booming serve
and precise volleys. She blazed a trail for a future generation of
African-American players, such as Arthur Ashe and sisters Venus and
Serena Williams.
The oil-on-wood painting featured on the stamp
is based on a photograph—taken at Wimbledon—of Gibson bending down to
hit a low volley. The first black tennis player to win one of the four
major singles tournaments, Gibson helped integrate her sport at the
height of the civil rights movement. She twice won Wimbledon and the
U.S. Championships (now known as the U.S. Open) and became the
top-ranked player in the world.
Designed by Derry Noyes, the stamp features the artwork of Kadir Nelson.
The _Althea Gibson_
stamp is being issued as a Forever® stamp. Forever stamps are always
equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce rate.
