Sc. 5830 Constance Baker Motley on a 5"x7" Dragon Card showing Motley flashing the "V" for Victory sign after winning election to the New York State Senate. The quote is from a newspaper article in the early 1960s. The Pictorial Postmark ties the new stamp, Martin Luther King Jr (Sc. 1771); Thurgood Marshall (3746); LBJ, who nominated her for a federal judgeship (1503); CTC/School Desegregation, the court case for which she helped litigate (3187f); and Dorothy Height (5171), who pushed her to run for the state senate and then took her door-to-door campaigning. Great for a Black History-, women- or law-on-stamps collection!
