Journalist Gwen Ifill Honored With Black Heritage Forever Stamp

[Demovictory9]

Gwen Ifill didn't want it to be a big deal.

The legendary journalist knew she'd served as a trailblazer for women and especially a beacon of what is professionally possible for women of color. But in an interview with The New York Times, she said she was eager for the days when it would not seem "like any breakthrough at all" for a black woman to be anchoring a national news program.

And yet, more than three years after her death, Ifill is still making breakthroughs. This time, on a stamp.

Go to your local USPS station and buy these stamps. It's one way to show the world who you are.
