Dr. Margaret Burroughs was one of the first to recognize me a youth leader, and I was glad to be one of the first to sign her petition for a commemorative stamp. Please join me and others in circulating this petition across the country in celebration of the life and legacy of Dr. Margaret Burroughs, co founder of the historic Dusable Museum of African American History.
