Bar News - January 17, 2003 Thurgood Marshall Honored on U.S. Postage Stamp Nearly 10 years after his death, the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall was honored Jan. 7, 2003 at a ceremony unveiling a new postage stamp featuring his name and likeness. Postmaster General John Potter said in a statement, "Through the issuance of the Thurgood Marshall stamp we have created a lasting tribute to one of the pioneers of civil rights and social equality in our country." More than 100 million of the 37-cent Thurgood Marshall stamps will be printed. Marshall is only the third associate justice in history to be portrayed on a U.S. postage stamp. The others are Oliver Wendell Holmes and Hugo Black. Six chief justices have been honored on stamps: John Jay, John Marshall, William Howard Taft, Charles Evans Hughes, Harlan Fiske Stone and Earl Warren.
