Maya Angelou’s Image on a New Quarter!

Some people may love Maya Angelous for her autobiographical writings and poetry.  We also love her for providing an updated version of Wood v. Lady Duff-Gordon.

I’m wondering whether the design is a reference to I Know Why the Cage Bird Sings.  If so, the bird no longer seems caged, and that seems fair enough.  In any case, it is a great thing to see her achievements recognized.  May other poets (and litigants) be similarly honored!
