Burkina Faso[edit]
In 1988, Burkina Faso issued a set of stamps marking the anniversaries (all multiples of 5) of the deaths of four renowned leaders:[1]
- Mohammad Ali Jinnah, founder of Pakistan (1988 - 40th anniversary of his death)
- Mahatma Gandhi, Indian leader (1988 - 40th anniversary of his assassination)
- John F. Kennedy, U.S. president (1988 - 25th anniversary of his assassination)
- Martin Luther King Jr., U.S. civil rights leader (1988 - 20th anniversary of his assassination)
Notes[edit]
- ↑ The referenced Scott catalogue lists the two stamps of 13 October 1971 as honoring "Joseph Dakiri (1938-1971), inaugurator of the Army-Aid-to-Agriculture Program", while the referenced Stanley Gibbons catalogue just says "Dakiri Project". Oddly, there seems not to be any online references mentioning either the person or the project, although there is a town named Dakiri. The stamps themselves depict an individual, mention the surname, and the 1938-1971 dates.
