Fun Not Fact NotArtificial text - it's up to you to check if it's true.
Deborah Rose Reeves<p>Close-up of the Tubman stamp from the 1995 Civil War commemorative series. </p><p>Depicted in a more active pose than the 1978 stamp, it is nevertheless disturbing to see this incredible woman coexisting on the same sheet of stamps and the same commemorative space as the white men who would fight to the death to deny her humanity and preserve their domination over her and those she helped to liberate. </p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BlackHistoryMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackHistoryMonth</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/PostalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PostalHistory</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/HarrietTubman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HarrietTubman</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/USPS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPS</span></a></p>
Deborah Rose Reeves<p>Later in the book, the authors scrutinize the 1995 32c Civil War commemorative stamps, in which former enslaved persons (Tubman and Frederick Douglass) are depicted alongside enslavers. </p><p>While Tubman is described as an 'abolitionist' on text that appears on the back of the stamp, Robert E. Lee is described as a general and Jefferson Davis a 'President.' </p><p>Again, obfuscation and historical erasure is at play. </p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BlackHistoryMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackHistoryMonth</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/PostalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PostalHistory</span></a></p>
Deborah Rose Reeves<p>On obfuscation in the design of the stamp: </p><p>"Although the figures on the wagon are presumably escaped slaves, the stamp's design makes their race and gender difficult to determine.... Alone as a visual artifact, the stamp fails to suggest the horrors of slavery or the promise of freedom. The wagon is not moving at all... and the ostensibly daytime scene conveys nothing of the nighttime strategies Tubman deployed." </p><p>- Goldblatt &amp; Handler </p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BlackHistoryMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackHistoryMonth</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/PostalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PostalHistory</span></a></p>
Deborah Rose Reeves<p>On February 1st, 1978, Harriet Tubman became the first African American woman honored on a U.S. postage stamp. The 13-cent stamp was the first in the iconic "Black Heritage" series, initiated in 1978.</p><p>Born into enslavement in 1822, Tubman, known as “the Moses of her people,” helped over 300 enslaved people escape to Canada through the network of routes and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. </p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BlackHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackHistory</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BlackHistoryMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackHistoryMonth</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/USHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USHistory</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/PostalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PostalHistory</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/USPS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPS</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/HarrietTubman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HarrietTubman</span></a></p>
Mirco Lange<p>Servus Regensburg! 5 Tage Archivaufenthalt in der Thurn und Taxis’schen Hofbibliothek auf Schloss St. Emmeram gehen zu Ende. Für mich sicher ein Highlight meiner Diss-Zeit. Viele tolle Funde gemacht und nette persönliche Begegnungen gehabt. Das Archivteam ist super und der Lesesaal mitten im Schloss war ein Traum. Freue mich, alles so sortieren, einzuordnen und aufzuschreiben. <br><a href="https://social.cologne/tags/postalhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>postalhistory</span></a> <a href="https://social.cologne/tags/mediahistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mediahistory</span></a> <a href="https://social.cologne/tags/mediastudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mediastudies</span></a> <a href="https://social.cologne/tags/regensburg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>regensburg</span></a> <a href="https://social.cologne/tags/andernach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>andernach</span></a> <a href="https://social.cologne/tags/histodons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>histodons</span></a> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>histodons</span></a></span> <a href="https://social.cologne/tags/postgeschichte" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>postgeschichte</span></a></p>
