Good day, and welcome to my blog. It is a cooler morning in the American Midwest - perhaps the heat dome has left us.
It's time for Sunday Stamps. We are up to the letter W.
I have a stamp from the US Postal Service, honoring Phillis Wheatley, an early enslaved African poet.
More at her Wikipedia entry.
Visit SeeitonaPostcard for more participants.
I have a page on Facebook: keep up with my infrequent quilt and stamp posts at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Viridian61/347674418583948?ref=hl

That is an interesting life journey.
Great stamp! I love that her story ended well!
What an interesting life. Sad, that her 'enslavers', and patrons didn't live longer as it seems by the wiki account that she was treated unusually well.
What a great choice for today. And I too am happy the temperatures have come down a bit.
I remember reading about her in poetry classes. On Being Brought from Africa to America now seems on the wrong side of history though. Still, she was one of the lucky ones as slaves went.
A very interesting stamp.
