She's stunning and brave, how dare you.

George Washington, state birds, and Maya Angelou. It makes sense, Goddamnit.

The first black woman, and also the first (admitted) prostitute! Yay!!!

Looks like some Illuminati shit to me.

They should be phony quarters. It would only be appropriate.

I AM looking forward to Tubman on the twenty, however. I'm glad to see Biden is supposed to speed that process along (whether it happens or not, remains to be seen).

Better a Maya Angelou Quarter, than a Harriet Tubman $20 bill.

Should have been Harriet Tubman.

Thanks Oprah.

Is there a "Doctor Phil" nickel in the works?

I’d like the coin to have my quote from my book ‘The Heart of a Woman’:

“Don't let the man bring you down…”

But add the words: “…unless unzipped”

This is what I thought, R7/R8...until I learned they're not yet done with the Tubman $20. Of course, Angelou shouldn't have even been on the long list for this.

I liked the old, drunk bag.

I haven’t seen a quarter in years.

Not women’s right activist Sojourner Truth? Ida B. Wells?

Not Rosa Parks? Or even an unsung pioneer like Biddy Mason?

I just find it offensive because it’s cause of Oprah. And Oprah is the voice of blackness to white liberals and she says Maya Angelou is the greatest and most important and I feel like that’s why she’s on the coin.

Shit Toni Morrison makes more sense to me.

Whatever tho.

What is going on with that design?

The turban, the towel...it looks like a logo for a black day-spa.

Looks like a kid designed it. Ridiculous and embarrassing.

I know why the caged bird is stoned out of its mind and gets a lot of attention for singing off-key while being adored for being smug.

Lots of haters here -I'm surprised! I have always liked her poetry. Are there other people in our history who might be more deserving? Sure. But there have already been less deserving people on our money.
