In Hispanic Heritage and Participation on United States Stamps, readers will learn the history of Hispanic people and their culture as highlighted on United States postage stamps.

In this book, readers will learn history one stamp at a time, connect past and contemporary events, and learn about the people whose endeavors and accomplishments made them remarkable and memorable.
