MY DAY: AFRICAN AMERICAN STAMPS

What was the first African American stamp issued by the postal service? How many do you remember? Do you still have any of them? Aah. Here is an amazing opportunity to own every black United States African American Stamp.

According to the Black Heritage Commemorative Society, in the past seventy (70) years, over 100 accomplished African Americans have been honored on U. S. postage stamps that are no longer sold at the post office. Collecting this increasingly rare part of our history is more than an investment in American History. The collection is offered with an ironclad, unconditional guarantee.

The first stamp issued by the post office was Booker T. Washington, a ten (10) cent stamp from 1940. A brief preview of the Americans in the collection include Salem Poor, who fought for the American revolution and was cited for heroism by 14 officers for his valor at Bunker Hill. When the James Baldwin Stamp came out, I remember my excitement because I had read most of his books, thanks to my aunt, the librarian. Then there is the Louis Armstrong Stamp, a masterful trumpet player, the inventor of scat singing, a New Orleans native with his name on the airport there. WOW!!! These mint condition U. S. postage stamps have already increased in value since it was discontinued. Philatelic experts know the worth and the potential for appreciation of these stamps.
