The Ernest J. Gaines stamp, the 46th in the U.S. Postal Service’s Black Heritage series, honors the author of such novels as The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman and A Lesson Before Dying. In the press release, the USPS said that Gaines “drew from his childhood as the son of sharecroppers on a Louisiana plantation to explore the untold stories of rural African Americans.” Published in 1993, A Lesson Before Dying won the National Book Critics Circle Award and resulted in Gaines being named a MacArthur Fellow. |
