The Late Pete Seeger, Folk Singer and Activist, Gets His Own Stamp

Pete Seeger, Folk Singer and Activist, Gets His Own Stamp

A ceremony has been planned at the Newport Folk Festival where he used to perform

The late Pete Seeger the guitar and banjo playing folk singer whose music was indelibly intertwined with his social activism, was honoured Thursday as the latest American musician to appear on a U.S. postage stamp.

The forever stamp, which features a colour-tinted, black-and-white photograph taken in the early 1960s showing Seeger in profile singing and playing his five-string banjo, went on sale at post offices nationwide, according to a U.S. Postal Service spokesperson.

A special ceremony was planned for the evening in Newport, Rhode Island, the site of the Newport Folk Festival, where Seeger was a performer and for a time a member of the board.
