Celebrating Black History, the Dorothy Height Stamp.

In this edition of NOAAH News we highlight. the nation's many Black History Month observances. Black History Month grew from Negro History Week, which was promoted by historian Carter G Woodson and prominent African-American minister Jesse E Moorland. The pair founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History which sponsored a Negro History Week in 1926, choosing the second week of February to coincide with the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. Today the U.S. Post office issues it's Dorothy Height Forever stamp which features artist Thomas Blackshear II’s, portrait of Height. The painting is based on a photograph shot by Lateef Mangum in 2009. Art director Derry Noyes designed the stamp.

In 1963, the Height-led National Council of Negro Women joined the Council for United Civil Rights Leadership. Height was an architect of the August 1963 March on Washington, where she shared the stage with Martin Luther King Jr. It was Height who pushed to include a voice of youth like John Lewis of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and insisted on no time limits for King’s speech.

NOAAH is particularly pleased at this recognition, as more than several years ago, NOAAH with it member partner The Sherwin -Williams Paint Company,
painted the interior of the National Council of Negro Women Washington D.C. headquarters through our HomeWork program. The HomeWork program trains
individuals the business of indoor painting. After instructional training from retired Sherwin-Williams executives, participants have an opportunity to join the workforce. See a future edition of the NOAAH News for more information.

Anyway, go out a buy some Dorothy Height Forever stamps!
