First and foremost, thank you all for taking the time to sign this petition. While my family has known Dewey's story all our lives, it is long past time for his story to be properly honored within the history of America and Golf. Each and everyone of you are a voice, and catalyst, towards making this happen.
So what's next? The Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee will ultimately have to vote on this. There are a number of criteria that they consider. Two of which are:
1) Historical perspective, which I think is well covered.
and
2) National interest, which is where all of you come in.
If you haven't already, please repost the link to this petition across your social media accounts, or email it to your friends and family. Lets get the word out!
Also, if you have time and want to go the extra mile, please send a letter to:
The Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee
c/o Stamp Development
U.S. Postal Service
475 L'Enfant Plaza SW
Room 3300
Washington, DC 20260-3501
Every voice matters when it comes to remembering, and honoring, our collective history. Thank you for adding yours, and honoring Dewey Brown.
With Gratitude,
Malakhi Simmons
