This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for the United States Postal Service issuing a commemorative postage stamp honoring Lewis Howard Latimer to mark the 178th anniversary of his birth in 2026. Latimer was an African American scientist and inventor born in 1848 to formerly enslaved parents who made significant contributions to technological advancement, including improving the carbon filament for light bulbs and inventing an early air conditioning unit. He worked closely with inventors Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison and was the only African American among the charter members of the Edison Pioneers group. The resolution asks the Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee to recommend that the Postmaster General issue such a stamp. This is a nonbinding expression of the House's position that does not require any appropriated funds, as stamp issuance decisions are made by the Postal Service and the advisory committee based on the historical and cultural significance of the proposed honoree.
