Maya Angelou Honored With Postage Stamp
The late author and poet, Dr. Maya Angelou, will be featured on a U.S. Forever Stamp to be issued on April 7, 2015. Rosa Rossin’s 2013 portrait, part of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery’s collection, has been chosen as the feature image. U.S. Postmaster General Megan J. Brennan said, “Maya Angelou inspired our nation through a life of advocacy and through her many contributions to the written and spoken word. Her wide-ranging achievements as a playwright, poet, memoirist, educator, and advocate for justice and equality enhanced our culture.”
