Marian Anderson Exhibit/Black Heritage Series
This is a cover from an exhibit submitted in the 2017 St. Louis Stamp Show and American Philatelic Society Stamp Show in Richmond, VA. The exhibit received a bronze ribbon in both shows and recognition from the Ephemera Society in Richmond. This beautiful cachet was my motivation.
