"When evil men plot, good men
must plan. When evil men burn
and bomb, good men must
build and bind. When evil men
shout ugly words or hatred, good
men must commit themselves
to the glories of love.
Where evil men would seek to
perpetuate an unjust status quo,
good men must seek to bring
into being a real order of justice."

"Actually, no one can understand the action
of Mrs. Parks unless he realizes that eventually
the cup of endurance runs over, and the human
personality cries out, ‘ I can take it no longer.’
Mrs. Parks’ refusal to move back was her
intrepid affirmation that she had had enough
. . . . She was anchored to that seat by the
accumulated indignities of days gone by and
the boundless aspirations o f generations yet
unknown.’ ’
—Martin Luther King
Assistant Postmaster General Elwood
A. Mosley unveiled December 19,1989 the
design of a commemorative stamp honor­
ing civil rights activist Ida B. W ells during
the NAACP Image Awards Ceremony in
Los Angeles.
The Ida B. Wells commemorative stamp,
the 13th in the black Heritage Series, w ill
be issued February 1 in Chicago in conjunc­
tion with Black History Month. Additional
information concerning the ceremony w ill
be announced in the near future.
The stamp design, by Thomas B lack­
shear of Novato, California, features a stun­
ning portrait o f W ells based on several
photographs of her taken during the mid-
1890s. A line of pickets forms a dramatic
backdrop, symbolizing her fierce denun­
ciation o f racial discrimination and her
anti-lynching crusade. Blackshear also
designed philatelic tributes to Jean Baptiste
Pointe Du Sable, James Weldon Johnson
and A. Philip Randolph, the three moat
recent honorees in the series.
Bom a slave in 1862, W ells devoted
fier entire life to educating people about the

horrors of discrimination and lynching. She
was the secretary o f the National Afro-
American Council and the first president o f
the Negro Fellowship League in C hicago.
In 1909, she helped found the National
Association for the Advancement o f
Colored People.
