Almanac

On October 4 1968, Niger was the first of six west African nations that issued a French omnibus memorial set [during the 1968-69 period] to commemorate Gandhi, King, Luthuli and the Kennedys.  The others who participated in this omnibus issue are Cameroun, Chad, Gabon, Mauritania (only Gandhi and King stamps) and Upper Volta (only Gandhi and Luthuli stamps).  The Niger set included one stamp each of Gandhi, King, John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy.
