After Emancipation, they bought four acres nearby in Sandy Creek, Georgia, where they raised cotton and vegetables.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlong the way, Harriet Powers began creating quilts, and completed at least five. The two we know are referred to as story quilts because each of their panels features a pieced, appliquéd, and embroidered scene from a familiar story drawn from local lore or the Bible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1886, Powers entered her “Bible Quilt” in a local fair, most likely the second annual Northeast Georgia Fair, in Athens. There, a young white art teacher named Jennie Smith fell in love with it and tried to purchase it. Powers turned her down but ended up selling it to her a few years later. After Smith displayed the quilt in the Negro Building of the 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta, several Atlanta University faculty wives were so impressed they decided to commission a new quilt from Powers as a gift for the vice president of the university board, Dr. Charles Cuthbert Hall. The “Pictorial Quilt,” completed in 1898, remained in the Hall family for 62 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach of the four stamps in the pane of 20 features a panel selected from Powers’s “Pictorial Quilt.” Explaining how she arranged the panels, Noyes says: “I wanted the pane to look as if there were more than just four different scenes.

A bald eagle is the centerpiece of America’s Great Seal, which is used to authenticate formal government documents, emphasizing the eagle’s importance as a symbol of the United States. On the seal, a bald eagle is shown supporting a shield on its breast, with 13 red and white stripes representing the 13 original states. A bald eagle also appears in the logo for the U.S. Postal Service and on currency and military insignia, as well as on countless buildings, flags, and commercial products across the country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBald eagles are also important to many Native American cultures.

Established on November 11, 1926, Route 66 forever changed how Americans travel and became a symbol of freedom and adventure. New stamps from the U.S. Postal Service celebrate the 100th anniversary of the iconic road, honoring its enduring spirit and the ongoing efforts to preserve this uniquely American treasure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArt director Greg Breeding says the scope of the project was “daunting” at first, once but once our researchers located David Schwartz, a Route 66 photographer with over 20 years of photographing the road, the process became much smoother. Schwartz became the resource for acquiring images for the stamps, while teaching Breeding some Route 66 history and lore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Not only is David a seasoned expert of Route 66, but he also happens to be a very fine photographer,” Breeding says. “I personally liked what some call the 'editorial' feel of his work. That is, it does not appear commercial or slick but has almost a photojournalistic quality.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSchwartz became interested in the road in 1988 after hearing Depeche Mode’s cover of the song “(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66.” He says he used to listen to it and dream of the adventures it held. He made his first trip in 2004 and has since driven it 40 more times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Only once did I make the full trip from Chicago to Los Angeles in one go,” Schwartz says. “As a photographer, I found it’s far more meaningful, rewarding, and enjoyable to focus on smaller sections — allowing for deeper dives into the towns, people, and landscapes along the way.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Schwartz is taking photographs on the road, he says he looks for moments that feel real and tell a story or capture a mood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I pay close attention to light, especially at sunrise or sunset, because it can completely transform a scene,” he says. “I’m drawn to how places change over time — what’s still standing, what’s faded, and what’s been brought back to life.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Route 66 celebrates its 100th anniversary, Schwartz notes it’s so much more than simply a road.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Route 66 is a thread that weaves together American history, culture, and identity,” Schwartz says. “It tells the story of how people moved, adapted, and built communities.

One of the most frequently observed celestial bodies, the Crab Nebula is one of the brightest remnants of an exploded star in the night sky.
