[Delusious]

Hey all,

The following message was sent to the SCOR listserve for minority graduate students at the Univ. of Michigan. I have not taken the time to verify it because I really need to be studying right now, but I wanted to pass it along just in case its true.

FYI, PASS THE WORD ON. US POST OFFICE TO DESTROY AFRICAN AMERICAN
STAMPS!Thurgood Marshall, Roy Wilkins, Langston Hughes, Zora
NealeHurston, Patricia Roberts Harris are all on these stamps.Please
forward this and buy a book of our stamps ASAP.The P.O. will DESTROY
all remaining African AmericanHeritage stamps at the end of the month
instead of following theirusual procedure of selling them until they
are depleted. Why?Because we're not buying them! However, our postal
workers areasking patrons to complain to the Post Master, via a
complaintform. Please ask for and complete the form (at the post
office). Skipthe love, flag, rose or teddy- bear stamps that they
offer you automatically,Request African-American stamps every time.
If we don't buy them,nobody will. We need to keep the little things
that we do get.

I knew this wasn't true...I remember the first time this came out and it was a few years ago. I continue to buy AA stamps whenever I can.
