Here’s a reason to actually send a letter in the mail: The U.S. Postal Service announced on Monday that it will honor the late Maya Angelou with a Forever stamp.
"Maya Angelou inspired our nation through a life of advocacy and through her many contributions to the written and spoken word," Postmaster General Megan J. Brennan said. "Her wide-ranging achievements as a playwright, poet, memoirist, educator, and advocate for justice and equality enhanced our culture." The Postal Service did not say when the stamp will be released.
