First
Day of Issue Ceremony Programs are produced by the
United States Postal Service (USPS) and sometimes in
cooperation with the sponsoring organization of the
event. They contain details of the
ceremony, a list of the speakers and the background of
the stamp issue. Most first day ceremonies are open to
the public and are attended by postal officials,
relatives of the honoree, and guest speakers. The
program depicted on the left is for the 1997 Kwanzaa
Celebration issue.
First Day Ceremony guests included the designer
Synthia St. James, actors Wesley Snipes and Kim Coles,
and Dr. Maulana Karenga who founded the Kwanzaa
Celebration in 1966.
