In the United States it is US Scott Number 873. It was a ten cent value that was part of the Famous Americans Series. Booker T. Washington was the first black American to be honored on a U.S. postage stamp issue. His boyhood home was later pictured on a stamp as well.
Harriet Tubman
The first African-American woman honored on her own stamp was Harriet Tubman in 1978. Some of the letter-sorters shown on a 1973 stamp appear to black women.
