Welcome to Vote 4 York Black Heritage Stamp!

In February, my teacher asked students to write about any Lewis and Clark Expedition subject. I chose York, William Clark’s enslaved man servant, who was an integral part of the expedition. During my research for the report, I became more intrigued by York and I decided to take my school project to the next level. So much is known about Lewis and Clark and I felt that York’s contribution to the expedition has been undervalued and marginalized. Therefore I wrote the USPS Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee and asked them to consider honoring York with a Black Heritage Stamp. My proposal to honor York is “under consideration” according to a recent letter from the USPS Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee.

Please Thank Your US Postal Workers this Holiday Season

My great grandfather Jackson L. Davis, Jr. was a DC postal worker for more than 34 years. I never had the pleasure of meeting him but been told many stories about his commitment to service for the US Post Office.

Everyday we watch our mail delivered on time and with a smile. Please don't forget to thank your postal worker this holiday season - the same way and with gratitude!

I honor my great grandfather through my pursuit of a York Black Heritage Stamp. To follow my story, please join my Facebook fan page @ Vote 4 York Black Heritage Stamp https://www.facebook.com/pages/Vote-4-York-Black-Heritage-Stamp-2013/156493221078958

York Stamp Campaign Thanks EOYDC Executive Director Regina G. Jackson

Hi everyone,

Last year I traveled to the East Oakland Youth Development Center (EOYDC) to volunteer for during my spring break. I made new friends and helped clean up the streets of Oakland, CA!

EOYDC is a community-based nonprofit agency and is dedicated to developing children and youth into healthy, self-supporting and aware citizens and adults. Since 1978 the Center has free comprehensive programs; emotional, physical, intellectual, and economic needs. I wanted to thank the Executive Director, Regina G. Jackson for inviting me and sending the USPS many many YORK stamp support letters.

This year I plan to return back to EOYDC and volunteer. To learn more about the national impact of EOYDC, please visit their website @ http://www.eoydc.org/
