E.S.P.E.R. stands for the Ebony Society of Philatelic Events and Reflections. They've got a really comprehensive site for philatelic topical collecting around Black heritage. I like that they aren't just focused on U.S.P.S. issues, but have a world-wide section as well. I also really like the theme section because it highlights stamps you would necessarily know had an topical connection. I learned that the traffic light was invented by an African American named Garrett Morgan, for example. Man, stamps are great and the people who love stamps and put this time into sharing them and their stories with us are great too.
