Issued as part of the "Folk Musicians" set in the "Legends of American Music" series, this stamp celebrates the life and work of Woody Guthrie. The First Day of Issue ceremony took place in Washington, D.C. Guthrie was a prolific songwriter who wrote about the struggles and triumphs of ordinary Americans during the Great Depression and beyond. His music was deeply rooted in social and political commentary, and he was a tireless advocate for workers' rights. "This Land Is Your Land," his most famous song, was written as a response to Irving Berlin's "God Bless America," and it captures his vision of a more inclusive and equitable nation. The stamp, featuring a portrait by Bernie Fuchs, pays tribute to his enduring legacy as the "Dust Bowl Troubadour."
