US Postal Service Unveils Forever Stamp of 'Stand and Deliver' Teacher Jaime Escalante
The stamp features Escalante in his
signature wide glasses flat cap and tinted glasses in front of a
chalkboard filled with calculus problems. Artists Jason Seiler and Greg
Breeding modeled the design after a 2005 photograph, which they
digitally recreated to resemble an oil painting.
Escalante
rose to fame after introducing the first AP calculus class to Garfield
High School, an inner-city school in Los Angeles, and inspiring his
students to perform unexpectedly well on the AP tests. He was portrayed
by Olmos, who received an Academy Awards nomination for best actor.
