Why Is This Guy On A Stamp?
Prez recently received some pharmacy continuing ed thing in the mail and I noticed it had a 61 cent stamp on it featuring Richard Wright. Stamps and coins and that sort of thing say a lot about how we think about ourselves (Mr. Jefferson wanted our coinage to feature Anglo-Saxon gods, for example). Wright was a communist (although he later fell out with the movement) and at the least a racialist, but what is most striking to me is that he lived the last 14 years or so of his life as an expat. I would think people on our stamps represent unifying figures. I understand that Wright's documentation of the very-real racism of his era was very important. But this is a man who chose to live away from here for a very long time. And that is fine. But why is he on an American stamp?
