I think I will be making arrangements to attend this. I mean how could I miss this since you will be attending?! It won't be no fun without you. :D |
Sorhors,
The Founders' Day Luncheon in Baltimore, MD was wonderful and it was something else to see the unveiling of the 29th U.S. Postal Stamp. She (Soror Hattie McDaniels) truly was a pioneer and groundbreaker that opened the door for many of our current African American actors. Serioussigma22 |
Here are a few women that should be placed on stamps that we can be proud of:
Ruth Whitehead Whaley Lorraine Hansberry Rosa Parks* Fannie Lou Hamer Daisy Bates* Georgianna Simpson Sadie T.M. Alexander Althea Gibson* Gwendolyn Brooks* Maggie Lena Walker Barbara Jordan Shirley Chisholm* *Not yet eligible |

FINALLY SOMETHING IN THE WEST...
Hopefully I will be able to make the Issue Ceremony tues. in Beverly Hills. I read all about the other ceremonies in the mid west & the east and wished I could have been there. So when they announced that there would be one here on the west coast I was so excited! This is history and I dont want to miss it. To have a ceremony here in Hollywood is definitely fitting. Its a place where she lived, worked, and represented SIGMA.

i got got my stamps last week!
|
I just wanted to say I bought my stamps yesterday :)
|
For those who havent as of yet purchased the beautiful stamp....
FEB. 18 the sorority will be showing up in numbers at our local post offices to purchase our stamps, bags, and memorablia! My family has made it a family thing to support the stamp! |
I just bought mine this past Saturday! :D
Several sorors from the three Atlanta area graduate chapters all met to buy stamps and take pictures at a local post office. It just so happens that a soror invited us to buy the stamps from the post office she works in. It was a bluetiful occasion with sorors, young and "seasoned". One of the postal workers politely informed us that we had to step after we took pictures. A "seasoned" soror told him, "Where's the music? Bring it on!" LOL I love my sorors! |
Thats what Im talking about! Sounds like fun...
|
I am currently reading her biography...very interesting!
|
I just picked up my book of stamps. Kudos to your Soror and to your Sorority!
SC |
Thanks! It's a great image of her.:)
|
Love the stamps, a young lady in the post office saw me buying them an she instantly thought I was a member of your organization. When I responded no she was so upset, so I said it's still a great stamp and Hattie McDaniel’s biography was a great read too.
|
^^^ Really? I'm glad that you're supporting our soror and the African American Heritage Stamp Collection in general. I think that particular soror was in the absolute minority.
BTW, I only use Hattie McDaniel stamps (on the rare occasions that I use stamps in this CyberAge). :D |

Sigmas Comment of New Black Heritage Stamp
Stamp carries message at McLain CORY YOUNG / Tulsa World Charles Waddell Chesnutt is commemorated in the 31st stamp in the U.S. Postal Service’s Black Heritage series. By ALTHEA PETERSON World Staff Writer 2/28/2008 The newest entry in the Black Heritage series is unveiled there in hope that it will inspire students. To carry on the future, local leaders hope that today's youth will remember the past. For that reason, a new stamp featuring black author Charles Waddell Chesnutt was unveiled Wednesday at McLain High School for Science and Technology by the U.S.. Postal Service and Rudisill Regional Library. The stamp is the 31st in the Black Heritage series of commemorative stamps. The series began in 1978 by honoring Harriet Tubman, said Beth Fisk, a Postal Service spokeswoman in Tulsa. The stamp's release coincides with Black History Month, which is February. "I hope students not only learn about the stamp and Charles Waddell Chesnutt but also hope they open their eyes to African-American history and how he changed the world," Fisk said. The event was largely student-led, with artwork, music and readings by McLain students. McLain senior Rainecia Clark, 17, said she hoped to read more about Chesnutt after the event. "Everyone needs to know about their black history -- and history, period," she said. "You can learn a lot of things about yourself, which is important." Sophomore Cara Washington, 15, was one of three McLain artists who drew sketches of Chesnutt for the ceremony. Hearing more youths take an interest in historical black leaders such as Chesnutt is encouraging, said Barbara Eikner, treasurer of the Tulsa alumni chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho. The sorority assisted with the event. "I feel so very often the history of African-Americans needs to start in the schools," she said. "We need to get the teachers and the parents involved. . . . It's a wonderful opportunity for McLain and the students." Keith Jemison of Rudisill Regional Library said that although Chesnutt might not be as famous as leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. or Malcolm X, his selection for a stamp might encourage students to learn more about him. "It's always wonderful to read more and more about someone's lives because you may be inspired by them," he told the students. "We salute Charles Waddell Chesnutt for being that author who made a difference in African-American history and American history." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Althea Peterson 581-8361 althea.peterson@tulsaworld.com http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/artic..._A9_hThen00274 |
