Film director, screenwriter, producer and distributor Oscar Micheaux, who illuminated the African–American experience through more than 40 feature films, has been immortalized on a U.S. postage stamp, taking his place as the 33rd person honored in the popular Black Heritage commemorative stamp series.
Miami community leaders and students paid tribute to Micheaux in a ceremony at Booker T. Washington Senior High School in Overtown. The local celebration helped kick off last month’s Miami's American Black Film Festival.
Micheaux’s unique storytelling ability shattered stereotypes and challenged film audiences with realistic representations of African–Americans. On June 22, the stamp was dedicated at a First-Day-Of-Issue ceremony in Miller Auditorium at Columbia University in New York City.
Customer Relations Coordinators Rose Castro and JoAnn Goodrich organized Miami's celebration with Barbara E. Anders, chairwoman of the Arts and Letters Committee of the Miami Alumnae Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. The hour-long event included featured performances from students, including those from Northwestern High who sang "We Are the World," and the Edwin Holland Dance Ensemble who tapped to "Sing, Sing, Sing." WEDR-FM 99 Jamz talk show host Cheryl Mizell was the emcee.
