This resolution (HRES 669) requests that the U.S. Postal Service issue a commemorative stamp honoring inventor Lewis Howard Latimer, to mark the 175th anniversary of his birth. It specifically recognizes his scientific contributions, including his improved carbon filament for light bulbs and early air conditioning patent, as well as his civil rights advocacy.
