Earlier this month, the U.S. Postal Service shared that the 49th stamp in their Black Heritage series will honor Phillis Wheatley, the first Black author to publish a book in the American Colonies. Yesterday was the first day of issue.

In 2012, the Rev. Dr. Katie Geneva Cannon gave a lecture titled “Calling for the Order of the Day,” in which she offered up three lessons of liberation for 21st century living. One of these lessons was drawn from Phillis Wheatley’s life story.

“On a bright morning in the spring of 1772, a young African woman by the name of Phillis Wheatley walked into the Boston courthouse to undergo an oral examination — surely one of the oddest oral exams on record,” she begins. Not yet 18, Wheatley had been brought before a group of the most powerful white men in the colonies for questioning. They had all read the book she’d published — the first book by a Black person, woman or man, to be printed in the American Colony. Cannon clarifies that “the bottom line, fundamental question was how could a Black woman who was limited to doing kitchen table ethics obtain an education commensurate to a classical education only available to young white men of Harvard.”
