This year’s Black History Month stamp, honoring judge Constance Baker Motley, is the work of an acclaimed Vineyard artist who divides his time between the Island and Atlanta.
Robert (Bob) Hayden started a Vineyard branch of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History and sparked the creation of an African American resource collection at the Oak Bluffs library.
Four researchers and educators traveled to the Vineyard to take part in the event on Nov. 8, organized by MV Signs: Then and Now, a project founded in 2016 by Islander Lynn Thorp to teach and revive ASL.
