Item Description
Detailed DescriptionWith
bright colors and a new stylized design, the U.S. Postal Service
continues its tradition of celebrating Kwanzaa. This annual
non-religious holiday, which takes place over seven days from December
26 to January 1, brings family community, and culture together for many
African Americans.
The stamp
art features a man, woman, and child dressed in traditional,
African-inspired clothing joined together in a unifying embrace. Their
intertwined arms form a circle around seven candles, known as the
mishumaa saba—a centerpiece of the Kwanzaa table. An open book
symbolizes the holiday’s emphasis on knowledge and cultural history. The
design is cast in the holiday’s primary colors of red, black, and
green.
Created in 1966 by
activist and scholar Maulana Karenga, Kwanzaa draws on African
traditions, deriving its name from the phrase “first fruits” in Swahili,
a widely spoken African language. It has its origins in first harvest
celebrations that occurred across the African continent in ancient and
modern times. Karenga sought to synthesize and reinvent these tribal
traditions as a contemporary celebration of African-American culture.
Artist R. Gregory Christie worked with art director Antonio Alcalá, who designed the stamp.
This
is the fifth stamp design issued by the U.S. Postal Service in
celebration of Kwanzaa. The first Kwanzaa commemorative stamp was issued
in 1997. New designs were also issued in 2004, 2009, and 2011.
Kwanzaa
is being issued as a Forever® stamp. Forever stamps are always equal in
value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce rate.PRE-ORDER ITEM
