America’s consummate folk singer, and the creator of our unofficial national anthem “This Land Is Your Land,” was born on this day in 1912.

Of the roughly 1,000 songs written by Guthrie, “This Land Is Your Land” surfaced as a beacon of promise during the lean years of the Great Depression. Writing the words, Guthrie invoked his travels across the United States, particularly through the far West. Since then, the song has taken on a life of its own, transcending political and social divisions and becoming emblematic of the ideal America.

The Woody Guthrie stamp was issued in 1998. Do you know the name of the stamp series to which it belonged?
