A brilliant legal strategist, Motley played a key role in knocking down legal segregation and served as a role model and mentor for those who followed in her footsteps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stamp features a portrait of Motley by Charly Palmer based on a photograph from the Associated Press. Rendered in acrylic on canvas, it displays elements of Palmer’s signature style: The stenciled circular shapes around the head suggest royalty, and the heavy brushstrokes and scratches provide added textures. Stenciled curlicues embellish the lower background and continue onto Motley’s black dress. Her colorful corsage and a brooch further brighten the portrait.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eConstance Baker Motley\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e stamp is being issued as a Forever® stamp.
