Mary Fields, also known as “Stagecoach Mary,” was one of the most remarkable figures of the American West. Born into slavery around 1832, she became the first African American woman to work as a mail carrier for the U.S. Postal Service, delivering mail in Montana through harsh weather and dangerous terrain. Known for her strength, independence, and determination, she challenged both racial and gender barriers in a time when fewopportunities existed for Black women.
Through Becky Stone's dynamic performance, you will learn more about Mary Fields' significant contributions to American history and culture as she speaks about Stagecoach Mary's life and answers questions in character.
This presentation, which is part of the Colorado Humanities’ Black History Live tour, is free and open to the public. Registration is not required.
