Board backs stamp for late Mayor Tom Bradley
- Share via
The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to support efforts for a postage stamp honoring former Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley.
The honor for the late Bradley, the city’s longest-serving -- and only black -- mayor, is being considered by the Postal Service’s Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee.
Led by Supervisors Yvonne B. Burke and Zev Yaroslavsky, the board sent a letter to the governor and legislators backing a state Assembly resolution to issue the stamp. The city passed a similar resolution in February.
Bradley forged a multiracial coalition and served as mayor from 1973 to 1993.
He died in 1998 at 80.
