With much thanks to Evelyn Williams from the United States Post Office, the Chesnutt Association now has some memorabilia from the dedication of the Charles W. Chesnutt stamp, which was issued in 2008 as part of the Black Heritage Stamp Series. The dedication ceremony was held at the Cleveland, Ohio Public Library on Jan. 31, 2008.

2008 USPS press release about the dedication

If anyone would like a lapel pin with the stamp image on it (see above), please get in touch with Bill Hardwig (whardwig@utk.edu). We would be happy to send one along.

Thanks one more time to Evelyn for thinking of the Chesnutt Association and contributing this wonderful memorabilia!
