Celebrate your heritage by collecting African American on philatelic materials : stamps, first day covers, and post cards

By Sherrod N. Gresham. Bloomington, IN: AuthorHouse, 2005.

Endorsed with a foreward by Dr. Esper G. Hayes, the founder of the Ebony Society of Philatelic Events and Reflection (ESPER), this important philatelic reference book contains detailed images of Black history stamps and post cards. After listing each stamp, the book goes into ardent detail about when each stamp was issued, who it commemorates, and why the subject is important. In the back it features lesson plans (written by a former President of ESPER) for teaching students of philately. There are also charts depicting the lives of famous African Americans, which include the dates they lived, their notable contributions to society, why they were selected to be on postage stamps, and photos of them.
