The U.S. Postal Service is issuing a new limited edition "Forever" stamp honoring Maya Angelou with a quote attributed to her: "A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song." But there is one small problem: The quote actually originated not with the late poet and civil rights champion but with a children' book author. Postal Service spokesman Mark Saunders told the Post that he was unaware of the Anglund quote, pointing out that "numerous references" attributed the quote to Angelou. Indeed, President Obama attributed the same quote to Angelou during the presentation of the 2013 National Medal of Arts and National Humanities Medal. www.cbsnews.com/news/maya-angelou-stamp-features-quote-that-isnt-hers/
