Kwanzaa

Celebration of African-American Culture

Winter 2020 Mail Sale Commentary 

Lot 24 T3101 — Kwanzaa — (10-29-99)

This was the first Kwanzaa stamp issued by the U.S. Postal Service to celebrate black culture and heritage. Just like I have started themed series of Collins covers like Christmas Wildlife, I decided to commence a series of Kwanzaa cachets that would depict animals of the homeland — Africa. Over the years, these covers have proved to be very popular, and it all started with this one. I think this will increase in popularity and importance as time goes by. Now is a scarce opportunity to obtain the first one in the series.
