'Ebony' Founder Honored With U.S. Postage Stamp

It's not every day that a magazine maven gets honored with a postage stamp, so hats off to John H. Johnson, the late founder of "Ebony" and "Jet," whose image will appear as part of the U.S. Postal Service's Black Heritage series.  The stamp will be issued some time in 2012.

The Atlanta Post writes about how Johnson's 70-year-old legacy, following an investment by JPMorgan Chase earlier this month, is now only partly black-owned.

Meanwhile, current Johnson Publishing CEO, former White House social secretary and Huffington Post fave Desiree Roger plays mannequin with her daughter in the August Vogue.
