To Form a More Perfect Union (10)
The courage and achievement of the men and women who struggled to bring the vision of the nation's founders closer to reality during the civil rights movement will be recognized on a pane of 10 stamps. Stamp designer Ethel Kessler uses details from contemporary artworks to illustrate the historical events commemorated on this stamp pane.

This postage stamp featuring a Delsarte painting will be released in August 2005. The image used on the selvage depicting Martin Luther King Jr. is a detail from a painting made by Louis Delsarte in 2000, From Selma to Montgomery.
