A portray
 Jean Baptiste Pointe du Sable,
 

founder of the City of Chicago on the
22 cents stamp.
 The stamp was issued for a 1988
 U.S. Postal Service series called the
Black Heritage
Commemorative Stamp collection.


Because Jean Baptiste lived
in the days before photography,
there exist only written descriptions
of the man,
who in the 1780s established a farm
among the Native American
population living near Lake Michigan.
 Jean Baptiste was born a free black man
in the vicinity of Montreal Canada,
and worked as a fur trader
 in the  territories
now known as Illinois and Indiana.
 His ancestors included Frenchman,
 Africans and Native Americans.
