The US Postal Service is honoring the late author and Nobel laureate Toni Morrison with her own Forever stamp.
Deborah Feingold, who took the photograph, recalled Morrison being gracious and accommodating during the 1997 photoshoot.
Tuesday's ceremony was one of several events that Princeton is hosting this year around Morrison. The recently opened exhibition"" examines the celebrated author's creative process, while a symposium later this month will bring together writers, scholars and artists to consider her work and its impact on American culture.
"Toni Morrison's books are in so many of our homes and abide in our hearts because she served as a catalyst for generations of readers over the years to understand the power of reading and words," Winfrey said.
