Saint Augustine's College will celebrate famed alumna and former teacher, Dr. Anna Julia Haywood Cooper, in whose honor a United States postal stamp has been released, with a special dedication event on the campus on Thursday, June 18 at 11:30 a.m. in the Presidential Rose Garden.

In the event of rain, the dedication ceremony will be held in the Martin Luther King, Jr., conference center.

Cooper is known for her book, A Voice From the South, and her famous quote: "The cause of freedom is not the cause of a race or a sect, a party or a class - it is the cause of humankind, the very birthright of humanity." The quote is included on every U.S. passport. 

Cooper purchased and dedicated one of the Historic Chapel's stained glass windows in honor of her husband, George A. C. Cooper, also an alumnus.
