New stamps commemorate milestones: "WASHINGTON -- The Civil Rights and Voting Rights laws, the Freedom Riders and the Montgomery bus boycott are among the events commemorated on a set of stamps dedicated Tuesday by the U.S. Postal Service.
The 10 37-cent stamps commemorate milestones in the civil rights movement and were dedicated at ceremonies in several cities across the country.
The set, titled 'To Form a More Perfect Union,' includes stamps commemorating the 1955 boycott against Montgomery, Ala.'s segregated bus system, the executive order integrating the armed forces and the march on Washington in 1963 in which thousands demonstrated for jobs and equality and Martin Luther King Jr. made his 'I Have a Dream' speech."
