Whoopi Goldberg didn't mince her words when she said Maya Angelou deserves more than the quarter for her contributions to American literature. During Tuesday's episode of The View , the Academy Award winner discussed the recent news that Angelou is now the first woman immortalized on the U.S. quarter, telling her co-hosts that America could be doing better by the author.  “I want to point out that, not too long ago, we were expecting to have Harriet Tubman gracing the $20 bill, remember that?” Goldberg  said , according to The Wrap. “But now it looks like the price has been slashed to a quarter, because now we have Maya Angelou on a quarter. And having Maya anywhere is a magnificent thing. But come on, America! You don’t think this is gonna make folks feel a little bit uncomfortable? We were on a $20 bill and now you have all of these powerful women, and you put them all on quarters? Come on!” she added.
