Hello and welcome to my blog. It is a beautiful June day in the American Midwest.
It's time for Sunday Stamps, and this week it's the letter "U".
I have a stamp from the US Postal Service, for the Underground Railroad:
I am reminded of fellow students in 6th grade, doing a project and presentation on the Underground Railroad. They thought it was an actual physical railroad, sort of like a subway (not reading their sources too closely). I had to tell them it was a network of people, transferring runaway slaves from house to house or other sanctuary. These were known as stations. Luckily, I did this before their oral presentation and writing their report!

Great choice for letter U. And great stamp!
Excellent choice for U. I've visited the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati and is a sobering experience.
I love this set of stamps. I only learned about the Underground Railroad when I got them.
Nice stamp! I don't remember learning about the Underground Railroad at all in school, definitely not as young as you did! I may have in high school, but that was ages ago so my memory of American History long left me!
I love the words on the stamp. I saw the biographical film 'Harriot' and she was all those things and more.
