U.S. #979 commemorated the 100th anniversary of the American Turners Society, and sparked a controversy. The American Turners were an organization of German-American gymnasts who promoted physical fitness. The stamp was proposed by a resolution of the U.S. House of Representatives, who authorized a “special series” of stamps honoring the Turners.
