	Prominent Americans series - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
		The Prominent Americans series is a set of definitive stamps issued by the United States Post Office Department (and later the United States Postal Service between 1965 and 1978.
		It superseded the Liberty series of 1954, which by the mid-1960s had become somewhat dated, for instance in its focus on political figures.
		The stamps appeared one by one from 1965 on, and the basic designs had all been issued by 1968; tagged versions made their first appearances gradually through 1973, and a booklet version of the 15c was issued in response to a first-class rate change.

		Since definitive series are issued over a period of time and are reprinted to meet postal demand, they often contain more variation than is typically found in stamps that have a single print run.
