Maxine Session, right, purchases Black History stamps from Karen Kessinger at the Rusk Post Office. This year's stamps bear the photo of Anna Julia Cooper, who was an educator, author and activist. Ms. Cooper was a woman born into slavery in North Carolina nine years prior to the Civil War, and reached milestones as the first woman to publish a book on Black feminism, "A Voice from the South by a Black Woman from the South." She was one of the first Black women to earn a doctorate from the world renowned University of Paris, Sorbonne.
