These signatures are in support of the request made by the Dred Scott Heritage Foundation to remember Mr. Dred Scott by issuing a stamp with his likeness. 

Harriet and Dred Scott fought for their freedom for eleven years until the U.S. Supreme Court ruled they were not citizens and could not sue in court. Also per the 5th amendment, it ruled a person could not “improperly be deprived of their property”, in this case their slaves.

The 14th Amendment, often called the Dred Scott Amendment, in effect, overturned the Dred Scott Decision. 

We would be most pleased to have a stamp of the man whose extensive court battle helped change the course of our nation, bring civil rights to people formerly enslaved and citizenship to all people born in the United States of America. 

Aside from this item being a great addition for any stamp collector, even more, it would also be an excellent teaching tool in the schools and in the home.
