#usstamps - ‘August Wilson’ A pane of 20 “Black Heritage,” Forever Stamps. On January 28, 2021, award-winning playwright August Wilson was the 44th honoree in the Postal Service’s Black Heritage series. The initial announcement indicated the Forever rate stamp would be dedicated “on the Postal Service Facebook and Twitter pages,” This is because on-site ceremonies are not being held during the Covid-19 pandemic; however, the site for the First Day of Issue cancellation will be Pittsburgh, Pa. One of America’s greatest playwrights, Wilson is hailed as a trailblazer for helping to bring nonmusical African American drama to the forefront of American theater. He collected innumerable accolades for his work, including seven New York Drama Critics’ Circle Awards; a Tony Award, for 1987’s “Fences”; and two Pulitzer Prizes, for “Fences” and 1990’s “The Piano Lesson.” #philately #philatelia #philatelystamp #stampcollection #mystamp #uspsstamps https://www.instagram.com/p/CNXh0NvLqHP/?igshid=zfullgk5w13q
