Born a slave in 1868. Died in 1964 as a well-educated woman, having earned a Ph.D. in history. An amazing feat for any person of that era!

Another nice stamp for your collection. 96 years old. Not only did she do something exceptional, but she lived through a lot of exceptional changes in the world.
