(US Postal Service) Author and Nobel laureate Toni Morrison now has her own U.S. Postal Service stamp. Princeton University held a ceremony to celebrate the stamp when it went on sale this week. Morrison, who died in 2019, often wrote about themes of racism and mistreatment of African Americans. She became a professor at Princeton and in 1993 she became the first Black woman to be awarded the Nobel Price in Literature. USPS says it chose Morrison because she has “made extraordinary and enduring contributions to American society.”
Happy Women’s History Month!!!
