Dr. Sullivan and Dr. Patrick have completed the first compendium of African Americans depicted on U.S. Postage stamp from 1940 to 2015. ( Dr. Sullivan started collecting stamps as a child, which encouraged him to become an educator. He was inspired by the work of Booker T, Washington, George Washington Carver, and W. E . B. Du Bois.) The extraordinary and innumerable achievements of African Americans have shaped the story of America by the roles they have played and continue to bestow in the development of this country and the world. Their achievements have enriched all aspects of American society. While African Americans' contributions are often missing from the pages of history, their immense achievements are found in art, music, theatre, invention, military service, education, architecture, literature, science, business, diplomacy, journalism, civil rights, law, sports, scientific discovery, exploration, medicine, agriculture, politics, cinema, and many other areas. A narrative is presented for each individual honored on a stamp, the issue date and the significant social, economic, educational, and cultural roles each individual played in the development of America as the foremost country in the world. Additional achievers are highlighted under each biography whose achievements are stamped in history. The mission of this book is to introduce youth and others to comprehend and apply the ability to overcome obstacles, persist, pursue excellence and follow their dreams through a thirst for education. Dr. George Washington Carver once wrote, "Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom." Through education, our youth can continue the sterling contributions of the gifted African American men and women highlighted in this book. It also encourages individuals to consider stamp collecting as a hobby. Dr. Sullivan and Dr. Patrick believe this book is an important addition to your family's home library and a valuable reference and educational tool in schools throughout the nation.

America issued its first stamp honoring an African American in 1940 when it recognized Booker T. Washington, who was born a slave and became one of the nation's great educators. This work centers specifically on over 1,000 U.S. and foreign stamps that feature over 100 African Americans who have received recognition for their achievements. Stamps featuring such well-known personalities as writer Alex Haley, civil rights activists Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., can be found in this reference work. Beginning with an introduction to stamp collecting, this work discusses the collecting of African American stamps as a hobby and as an investment opportunity, and provides biographical information on those African Americans with their own stamps as well as illustrations of and data about the stamps.

The purpose of this research is to examine changes in visual representations of African Americans in postal imagery from 1940 to 2012. The research also aims to determine if postal imagery reflected notions of citizenship and therefore helped to forge a legitimate place for African Americans within the national self-image of the United States. Because postage stamps are Government endorsed, they can broker cultural values through the chosen image. This thesis explores and asks how did African Americans gain entry into stamp representation, become celebrated for their achievements, and finally become normalised; and, a legitimate part of American society. In particular, this thesis provides a contextual discussion of the stamp as cultural icon, through its history, function and agency. Because stamps are highly visible they are a subtle way through which to explore and identify exclusion and thus gradual inclusion of African Americans. African Americans slowly emerged on stamps with the first woman displayed on Black Heritage in 1978. This thesis discusses how Black Heritage came about, who was portrayed and how it provides a microcosm of changing art mores for portraits covering thirty-five years. In the Art of the Stamp, shifts in technology and design not only paralleled the Civil Rights Movement, but boundaries moved for African American artists, whose contemporary works became stamps in: To Form A More Perfect Union. While into the 1990s, an extensive Legends of American Music Series embraced African Americans along with White legends of contemporary music, sharing the stage together. Findings show that postal imagery of African Americans slowly increased following the introduction of Black Heritage. However, not until the 1990s, did the USPS begin a more rigorous approach to include minorities into its postal programme. As a government agency, the United States Postal Service began to recognise societal changes, issuing an array of stamp series that include images of African Americans. This thesis is a philatelic study contributing further knowledge to an aspect of African American culture and history.
