WE RISE ABOVE
STAMPS COLLECTION + SUPPORTING MATERIAL
The We Rise Above USPS stamp collection is based on a fictional, commemorative artist, Hazel Grace, she was raised during the Civil Rights Movement. She was a professional paper cutting artist and found much of her inspiration from the times she was raised. Hazel is world-renowned for her Civil Rights series We Rise Above featuring famous women activists of whom she looked up to. In 1970 she began hand cutting this series at a very large scale of 20' by 20'.
