Plain-English Summary

This bill would authorize the U.S. Postal Service to issue a commemorative stamp honoring Bayard Rustin, a civil rights activist and organizer of the 1963 March on Washington. The stamp would recognize Rustin's contributions to the civil rights movement and American history. This is a symbolic gesture that allows the government to celebrate an important historical figure through postal service.
