GEORGE HENRY WHITE (1852-1918) is a distant cousin of mine as my genealogical research indicated while searching for my birth relatives. He is the first cousin of Samuel Edward Lee White, my great great grandfather (my birth mother’s father’s father’s father). I set out to honor him for Black History Month by including a biography from the book about his life George Henry White: An Even Chance in the Race of Life, by Benjamin R. Justesen.
How timely, then, is the following article from The Wilmington Journal:
BUTTERFIELD BILL SEEKS TO HONOR GEORGE HENRY WHITE WITH STAMP, WEEK OF FEBRUARY 1-7, 2007
The Wilmington Journal
Originally posted 2/5/2007
WASHINGTON, D.C. - On the anniversary of former U.S. Rep. George Henry White’s last speech before Congress, Congressman G. K. Butterfield on Monday offered legislation that would create a postage stamp commemorating White’s life and accomplishments.
“George Henry White fearlessly and consistently stirred the conscience of America to embrace racial justice and equality for all people,” Butterfield said. “It was a life worthy of remembering.”
Butterfield said that he wanted to offer the bill to try to speed the process of honor [sic] White with a stamp produced by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). Last year, Butterfield sent a written request to the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee (CSAC) asking that White be honored with a stamp as part of the popular Black Heritage stamp series. The request was co-signed by all 42 House members of the Congressional Black Caucus and all but one of North Carolina’s 13 House members. That request is still pending.
Additionally, Butterfield previously succeeded in naming the Tarboro Post Office in White’s honor.
The 15-member CSAC makes recommendations to the U.S. Postmaster General on which stamp proposals merit consideration. The Committee meets four times a year in Washington, D.C. At the meetings, the members review all proposals that have been received since the previous meeting.
Butterfield said that White, one of 22 black members who served in Congress between Reconstruction and 1901, gave a powerful final speech before Congress on January 29, 1901. In his speech, White predicted, “This is perhaps the Negroes’ temporary farewell to the American Congress; but let me say, Phoenix-like he will rise up some day and come again. These parting words are in behalf of an outraged, heart-broken bruised and bleeding, but God-fearing people, faithful, industrious, loyal, rising people - full of potential force.”
Butterfield also has a bill directing the Architect of the Capitol to create exhibits which depict the Congressional careers, accomplishments and contributions of the 22 African-American Members of Congress who served during the Reconstruction Era, beginning with Congressman Joseph H. Rainey of South Carolina and ending with White. Butterfield has a meeting scheduled with the Architect of the Capitol to discuss the bill later this week.
Butterfield said that his strong personal interest in history as well as White’s connection to the district spurred the legislation.

NEEDLESS to say, I was (and am) somewhat in awe that I can call this great man a relative, an ancestor, one of my people. And to think, he might be on a postage stamp someday.
There are a few more prominent Black Americans in my biological family tree that I intend to honor in the coming days as well.

I AM A CURRENT LAND OWNER IN WHITESBORO, NEW JERSEY. I CURRENTLY HOLD A DEED FROM THE ORIGINAL GEORGE H WHITE REALTY COMPANY. WHITESBORO IS ONE OF THE FIRST AND LAST TOWNS OF ITS KIND.
In September, Whitesboro had a BIG family reunion. I am SURE they would be HONORED to have a George H White relative speak!
Middle Township (A town that was not around with the rising of Whitesboro) had haulted the George H White Museum, even though there are a multitute of National Tresures to be saved.
MANY NATIONAL FIGURES THAT HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS AND WANT TO PRESERVE THE HISTORY OF THE TOWN BACK THEN, HAVE BEEN EMMINET DOMAINED BY MIDDLE TOWNSHIP OFFICIALS.

APPRAISAL REPORT
SUBJECT OF APPRAISAL: SELECTED ARTIFACTS FROM THE JOHNSON FAMILY COLLECTION
APPRAISAL PROVIDED FOR: THE JOHNSON FAMILY TRUST
DATE OF APPRAISAL: FEBRUARY 2, 2006
Summary of Appraisal
NANNY JACK & CO. WAS EXTREMELY PLEASED TO PERFORM THIS APPRAISAL OF SELECTED AFRICAN AMERICAN ARTIFACTS FROM THE JOHNSON FAMILY COLLECTION. THIS APPRAISAL WAS PERFORMED BY PHILIP J. MERRILL, A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED SPECIALIST IN AFRICAN AMERICAN MEMORABILIA. A CURRICULUM VITAE OF MR. MERRILL IS ATTACHED.
SPECIFICALLY, WE WERE ASKED TO EVALUATE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:
ABOUT 44 PHOTOGRAPHS
1 COLORED DEMOCRATIC PARTY CARD
2 NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS FROM THE 1936 PITTSBURGH COURIER
2 DOCUMENTS FROM U.S. PRESIDENTS
1 DEED TO PROPERTY FROM GEORGE H. WHITE REALTY COMPANY- INVESTOR OF WHITESBORO, N.J
The appraisal was requested for donation purposes. Specifically, these artifacts are to be donated to the Heinz Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (Note:Yet to be agreed upon by Johnson Family Historical Trust. The initiative will actively pursue the option of Historical Trust Radio Room and Museum at 303-305 Main Street as a primary option with secondary preservation services offered by Smithsonian in Pittsburgh Senator Heinz Museum.)
In determining the value of the collection, we took into account the rarity, condition and desirability of the artifacts in the collection. A brief definition of each of these terms follows:
RARITY: THE RARITY OF AN OBJECT REFERS TO THE NUMBER OF EXAMPLES OF THE OBJECT THAT WERE MADE OR HAVE SURVIVED. AN OBJECT’S RARITY WILL GREATLY AFFECT ITS DESIRABILITY AND VALUE. WE FOUND THE RARITY OF THIS COLLECTION TO BE EXTREMELY HIGH.
THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 75 WP PAGES AT 12 POINT SIZE CURRENTLY. WHAT WAS SENT WAS JUST A PIECE.
THERE ARE OTHER AREAS OF THIS HISTORICAL STUDY FROM PERSONAL PROSPECTIVE ONLY TO HOW TO BOOK (OR PIT FALLS IN RESEARCHING YOUR HISTORY) IN SEARCHING FOR YOU HERITAGE AND LEARNING WHAT TO TAKE AS FACT OR FICTION. OR, SIMPLY LEARNING THAT A FACT FOR MANY IS NOT A FACT IN HISTORY FOR YOU.
CONDITION: THE CONDITION OF AN OBJECT IS A CRITICAL FACTOR IN DETERMINING ITS VALUE. WE FOUND THE CONDITION OF THE OBJECTS IN THIS COLLECTION TO BE AVERAGE.
DESIRABILITY: THIS RATING FACTOR REFERS TO THE DEGREE TO WHICH SOPHISTICATED COLLECTORS AND OTHER KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSONS WOULD DESIRE TO OWN AN ITEM. DESIRABILITY IS LARGELY SUBJECTIVE, BUT IT WILL AFFECT AN OBJECT’S VALUE. WE FOUND THE DESIRABILITY OF THIS COLLECTION TO BE EXTREMELY HIGH.
A MAJOR FACTOR IN OUR EVALUATION IS THE STRENGTH OF THE DOCUMENTATION OF THE ASSORTED PHOTOGRAPHS, ESPECIALLY THE CRITICAL GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH AND SUPERB PROVENANCE RELATED TO THE HISTORIC AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY OF WHITESBORO, NEW JERSEY, IN GENERAL, AND THE PIONEERING RADIO WORK OF JAMES JOHNSON IN PARTICULAR. INDEED, WITHOUT THIS SUPPORTING EVIDENCE, THIS COLLECTION WOULD BE LESS SIGNIFICANT.
MANY OF THE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHS CAPTURED BY FAMILY MEMBERS ARE IN POOR TO AVERAGE CONDITION AT BEST. HOWEVER, WITH MODERN RESTORATIVE TECHNIQUES SEVERAL CAN BE RESTORED TO THEIR ORIGINAL SPLENDOR. SEVERAL OF THE CABINET CARDS, TINTYPES AND REAL PHOTO POSTCARDS ARE IN MUCH BETTER CONDITION. THE LARGE FRAMED FEMALE IMAGE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
THE JOHNSON FAMILY COLLECTION WILL SHED LIGHT ON THE AFRICAN AMERICAN EXPERIENCE FROM THE STANDPOINT OF FAMILY, COMMUNITY, MILITARY, GOVERNMENT, AND LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST – RADIO/HAM OPERATOR WORK. THIS COLLECTION IS ONE OF COUNTLESS UNTOLD TREASURES OF AMERICAN HISTORY.
WHILE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS APPRAISAL, IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT SEVERAL OF THE VINTAGE VACUUM TUBES IN THE JOHNSON COLLECTION ARE DESIRABLE RADIO AND ELECTRONIC ARTIFACTS. WHILE SOME ARE RUSTED AND IN POOR CONDITION, THEY ARE STILL SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE JAMES JOHNSON USED HOMEMADE PARTS TO REPAIR THEM. WHILE THE HEINZ MUSEUM MAY NOT BE INTERESTED IN THESE ITEMS, THE JOHNSON FAMILY TRUST SHOULD BE FROM AN INTERPRETIVE AND PRESERVATION STANDPOINT. IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE, WITH THE HELP OF THE RIGHT SPECIALIST, TO RESTORE ONE OR TWO RADIOS TO FUNCTIONING AND/OR DISPLAYABLE CONDITION. THE CONCEPT OF A RADIO ROOM NEEDS TO BE EXPLORED IN DEPTH.
A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY and strije with Jim Alexis and Middle Township...
THREE YEARS AGO, A NC BASED POST OFFICE WANTED TO PLACE A MAIN STREET INITIATIVE IN SWING FOR A USPS SERVICE. THE TOWNSHIP COULD NOT GET ANY OF THE TOWN PEOPLE TO SELL THEIR PROPERTY TO HIM SO HE BLOCKED ALL TRANSACTIONS BY SENDING OUT EMMINET DOMAIN LETTERS TO THOSE MAIN STREET RESIDENTS WHOSE PLANS WERE APPROVED BY ARCITECHT AND ENGINEERS.

ONE OF THE ONLY SURVIVING COLORED DEMOCRATIC PARTY CARDS EXIST TO DATE IS IN THE JOHNSON FAMILY HISTORICAL TRUST COLLECTION. ACCORDING TO PHILIP J. MERRILL
“WHILE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS APPRAISAL, IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT SEVERAL OF THE VINTAGE VACUUM TUBES IN THE JOHNSON COLLECTION ARE DESIRABLE RADIO AND ELECTRONIC ARTIFACTS. WHILE SOME ARE RUSTED AND IN POOR CONDITION, THEY ARE STILL SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE JAMES JOHNSON USED HOMEMADE PARTS TO REPAIR THEM. WHILE THE HEINZ MUSEUM MAY NOT BE INTERESTED IN THESE ITEMS, THE JOHNSON FAMILY TRUST SHOULD BE FROM AN INTERPRETIVE AND PRESERVATION STANDPOINT. IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE, WITH THE HELP OF THE RIGHT SPECIALIST, TO RESTORE ONE OR TWO RADIOS TO FUNCTIONING AND/OR DISPLAYABLE CONDITION. THE CONCEPT OF A RADIO ROOM NEEDS TO BE EXPLORED IN DEPTH.” – PHILIP MERRILL
