ATLANTA (CBS ATLANTA) -
The U.S. Postal Service has issued a Rosa Parks stamp on what would have been the late civil rights icon's 100th birthday.
The stamp bears an artist's rendering of a 1950s-era photo of Parks.
Parks was arrested in 1955 for refusing to give up her seat on a Montgomery, AL bus to a white man, an act that helped bring the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to prominence.
Stroman and others later took a seat on the Rosa Parks bus, which is on permanent display inside the museum.
The Atlanta unveiling took place at The King Center at 449 Auburn Ave.
