The New Yorker takes note of Maya Angelou stamp controversy: Morning Report

Students at Maya Angelou Public Charter Schools in Washington, D.C., discussed Angelou's poetry as part of a recent multimedia feature by USPS Stamps.
Linn's Stamp News gives you a quick look at what's going on in the world of stamp-collecting.
1. The New Yorker weighs in on Maya
Here's how The New Yorker's Ian Crouch ends his breakdown of the Maya Angelou stamp controversy:
"In an odd way, the stamp is a physical representation of digital culture: an Internet-quotation controversy captured in American postage. And with its photo-realistic portrait and contested quotation, it looks more like a meme than a monument."
Read how Crouch explains that viewpoint.
2. Online Scott Catalogue available
The online, or eCatalogue, version of the Vol. 1 of the 2016 Scott Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue is now available for purchase.
3. Water Lilies envelope details
