Issued as part of the "Voices of the Harlem Renaissance" series, this stamp honors Nella Larsen, a crucial yet often overlooked figure of the era. Her novels broke new ground in their psychological depth and frank examination of the "tragic mulatto" trope, offering nuanced portrayals of women navigating the rigid racial and social structures of early 20th-century America. The stamp's design, with its art-deco-inspired background, captures the modern and sophisticated spirit of her work. The First Day of Issue ceremony for this set was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the first day of issue city being New York, New York.
