\n<\/a> New Black History Month stamp honours trailblazer Mary Ann Shadd<\/strong><\/span>
\nAn abolitionist, educator, writer and lawyer, Shadd was also the first Black woman in North America to publish and edit a newspaper<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/a>CHATHAM, ONT. \u2013 Today [January 23, 2024], at an event in Chatham, Ont., Canada Post unveiled a new Black History Month stamp honouring Mary Ann Shadd. An abolitionist, educator, newspaper publisher and lawyer, Shadd broke boundaries throughout her life as she fought for the rights of Black people and women.<\/p>\n

Born in 1823 in Wilmington, Delaware, Shadd established herself early on as a dedicated teacher, writer and activist. In 1851, she was invited to teach in Windsor, Ontario, where she helped open a racially integrated school that supported families fleeing enslavement in the United States.<\/p>\n

Two years later, she launched The Provincial Freeman<\/em> and became the first Black woman in North America \u2013 and the first woman in Canada \u2013 to publish and edit a newspaper. Published from Windsor, then from Toronto and Chatham, it was an anti-slavery \"\"<\/a>newspaper that advocated for the advancement and equality of Black people. It also promoted Canada as a place for Black people to settle, raise families and contribute as free citizens.<\/p>\n

To avoid alienating readers accustomed to male editors, Shadd initially kept her name off the masthead. However, she grew tired of the assumption that she was a man and in 1854 revealed her identity.<\/p>\n

In 1863, she moved back to the United States where she continued to build her reputation as a trailblazer. The second Black American woman to obtain a law degree, \"\"<\/a>Shadd became a lawyer and a prominent suffragist.<\/p>\n

Shadd\u2019s lifelong fight for equal rights continued a family legacy. Her father, Abraham Doras Shadd, was active in the Underground Railroad and was featured on Canada Post\u2019s first Black History Month stamp issue in 2009 (left, Sc. 2315, issued with another Black History stamp)<\/em>. It is believed that this is the first time in Canadian postal history (outside of the Royal Family) that a father and daughter have each appeared on a stamp.<\/p>\n

About the stamp<\/strong><\/span>
\n\"\"<\/a>The stamp was designed by Underline Studio and illustrated by Natasha Cunningham. The central image is the only known photograph of Shadd. The lower image is a reproduction of The Provincial Freeman<\/em>\u2019s masthead, recreated to include both of Canada\u2019s official languages. The metallic-inked black-eyed Susans represent resilience, encouragement, justice and motivation. Printed by Colour Innovations, the issue includes a booklet of six PermanentTM domestic rate stamps and an Official First Day Cover. The cancel site is Chatham, Ont., where Mary Ann Shadd spent most of her years while residing in Canada.<\/p>\n

Stamps and collectibles are available at canadapost.ca and postal outlets across Canada.<\/p>\n

\n Le nouveau timbre du Mois de l\u2019histoire des Noirs rend hommage \u00e0 la pionni\u00e8re Mary Ann Shadd <\/strong><\/span>
\nAbolitionniste, \u00e9ducatrice, \u00e9crivaine et avocate, Mary Ann Shadd est la premi\u00e8re \u00e9ditrice noire d\u2019un journal en Am\u00e9rique du Nord.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>CHATHAM, ONT. \u2013 Aujourd\u2019hui [le 23 Janvier 2024], lors d\u2019un \u00e9v\u00e9nement \u00e0 Chatham, en Ontario, Postes Canada a d\u00e9voil\u00e9 le nouveau timbre du Mois de l\u2019histoire des Noirs rendant hommage \u00e0 Mary Ann Shadd. Abolitionniste, \u00e9ducatrice, \u00e9ditrice de journal et avocate, elle fait tomber des barri\u00e8res tout au long de sa vie en d\u00e9fendant les droits des Noirs et des femmes.
\nN\u00e9e en 1823 \u00e0 Wilmington, au Delaware, elle se d\u00e9marque tr\u00e8s t\u00f4t en tant qu\u2019enseignante d\u00e9vou\u00e9e, \u00e9crivaine et militante. En 1851, elle est invit\u00e9e \u00e0 enseigner \u00e0 Windsor, en Ontario, o\u00f9 elle aide \u00e0 ouvrir une \u00e9cole int\u00e9gr\u00e9e sur le plan racial qui soutient des familles fuyant l\u2019esclavage aux \u00c9tats Unis.<\/p>\n

Deux ans plus tard, elle lance le journal Provincial Freeman<\/em> et devient la premi\u00e8re femme noire en Am\u00e9rique du Nord \u2013 et la premi\u00e8re femme au Canada \u2013 \u00e0 \u00e9diter un journal. D\u2019abord publi\u00e9 \u00e0 Windsor, puis \u00e0 Toronto et \u00e0 Chatham, ce journal anti-esclavagiste pr\u00f4ne l\u2019avancement et l\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 des Noirs. Il fait \u00e9galement la promotion du Canada comme \"\"<\/a>endroit o\u00f9 les Noirs peuvent s\u2019\u00e9tablir, \u00e9lever leur famille et contribuer \u00e0 la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 en tant que personnes libres.<\/p>\n

Pour ne pas ali\u00e9ner le lectorat habitu\u00e9 \u00e0 des r\u00e9dacteurs, Mary Ann Shadd omet au d\u00e9part son nom du bloc-g\u00e9n\u00e9rique. Toutefois, lass\u00e9e d\u2019\u00eatre prise pour un homme, elle r\u00e9v\u00e8le son identit\u00e9 en 1854.<\/p>\n

En 1863, elle retourne aux \u00c9tats-Unis o\u00f9 elle consolide sa r\u00e9putation de pionni\u00e8re. Deuxi\u00e8me femme noire dipl\u00f4m\u00e9e en droit aux \u00c9tats-Unis, Mary Ann Shadd devient avocate et une importante suffragette.<\/p>\n

La lutte pour l\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 des droits qu\u2019elle m\u00e8ne pendant toute sa vie est la continuation d\u2019un h\u00e9ritage familial. Son p\u00e8re, Abraham Doras Shadd, qui joue un r\u00f4le actif dans le chemin de fer clandestin, a \u00e9t\u00e9 l\u2019un des sujets de la premi\u00e8re \u00e9mission de timbres du Mois de l\u2019histoire des Noirs de Postes Canada en 2009. C\u2019est la premi\u00e8re fois dans l\u2019histoire postale du pays (\u00e0 l\u2019exception de la famille royale) qu\u2019un p\u00e8re et sa fille figurent chacun sur un timbre.<\/p>\n
