The Dr. Maya Angelou Stamp Blunder, by USPS
The stamp collectors still remember the Statue of Liberty blunder of the
USPS, a forever coil stamp issued Dec. 1, 2010 in billions of copies. On the page Viva Las Vegas (http://www.artonstamps.org/Countries...as-liberty.htm) I largely commented then on the Las Vegas replica that replaced on the stamp the famous New York City harbor original. Celebrating the Art on Stamps, USPS erred again on a new forever stamp that was issued April 7, 2015 to honor the memory of the author Dr. Maya Angelou. The phrase quoted on the stamp ("A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.") was misattributed. It actually appears on page 15 in the book "A Cup of Sun," by Joan Walsh Anglund, copyrighted 1967. You can find out more about this stamp and about the celebrated author from the press excerpts that were recently published on the web, and which I compiled on my new page. I was rather amazed by the plethora of Dr. Maya Angelou's talents, the extent of the stamp issue celebrations and the high profile of falsely quoting personalities, things that I learned about from these excerpts. Last but not least, I present toward the end of the page a SNA stamp that correctly quotes from Dr. Maya Angelou.

I try to rephrase your saying for this very stamp as follows: - Apparently, the USPS is going to "diabolically perseverate" ... eternally. Unfortunately, I don't think that the permanents remember our SNA, mainly because there are so few of them here. -- Victor Manta, SHNAPS (Spanish North Africa Philatelic Services) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spanish North Africa: http://www.sna-on.postalstamps.biz/ Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org/ Art on Stamps: http://artonstamps.org/ Romania by Stamps: http://marci-postale.com/ Communism on Stamps: http://reds-on.postalstamps.biz/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
