The stamp was issued honouring Chloe Cooley, a slave resistance martyr from Canada, on January 30, 2023. In Canada in the late 1700s, Chloe Cooley was an enslaved person of colour who rose out against slavery. Her narrative attracted a lot of interest, and her stance on the issue of abolition and human rights in Canada became a potent symbol. The stamp is part of a booklet pane of six stamps.
