In recent years, the U.S. Postal Service has added to the Lincoln legacy by honoring the achievements of two of the University’s renowned alumni—world-acclaimed poet Langston Hughes ’29, and famed civil rights attorney and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall ’30 — with commemorative stamps.
