What battle was fought at Harpers Ferry?

It wasn't really a battle. It was John Brown's 1859 attempt to capture US weapons and arm the slaves so that they might revolt against their masters, but it failed. Ironically, the first man killed by Brown's anti-slavery group was a free black man who worked at Harper's Ferry. He was misidentified as a soldier and shot. President Buchanan quickly sent in US Marines by train and the slave revolt was crushed before in began. John Brown was convicted and hanged.

Who was the last black American to appear on a US postage stamp?

Black Americans appear regularly on US stamps as part of a long-going Black Heritage series - the most recent featured writer Charles Chesnut, last winter -- Ann Julia Cooper will appear on the next issue in June of this year. On Feb 21, 2009, a sheet of 6 designs honoring Civil Rights Pioneers, many of whom are black Americans,will appear. However, I believe the exact answer to your question would be Josephine Baker , Duke Ellington, and Louis Jordan who appeared last July on a sheet of 5 stamps showing vintage black cinema posters.
