Coretta Scott King Book Awards Historical Timeline Coretta Scott King Book Awards Historical Timeline The founders of the Coretta Scott King Awards, 1969–1970. Left to right: Glyndon Greer, Mabel McKissack, and John Carroll. 1969 The Coretta Scott King Book Award was established by Glyndon Flynt Greer, a school librarian in Englewood, NJ; Mabel McKissack, a school librarian in New London, CT; and John Carroll, a book publisher. From the inception, the award was designed to commemorate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and honor Coretta Scott King, for her courage and determination to continue the work for peace and world brotherhood. 1969 During the first year, four other librarians joined the founders: Harriet B. Brown, New York City Board of Education; Beatrice James, President of the New Jersey Library Association; Roger McDonough, New Jersey State Librarian; and Ella Gaines Yates, Assistant Director, Montclair (NJ) Public Library. 1969–1973 During the early stages of development, the New Jersey Library Association, the Englewood Middle School and the Dwight Morrow High School served as sponsoring organizations of the Award. 1970 The inaugural Coretta Scott King Book Award was presented to Lillian Patterson for her book, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr: Man of Peace at the New Jersey Library Association Annual Spring Conference in Atlantic City, NJ. 1970 Since the beginning, the Johnson Publishing Company presented the honorarium for the winning author, ending that relationship in 2010. Basil Phillips, photographs archivist and conference coordinator for the company, played an instrumental role in advocating for this long standing alliance. 1970–1971 The first two awards’ ceremonies were held at the New Jersey Library Association Annual Spring Conference in Atlantic City, NJ. 1972 The very first Coretta Scott King Book Awards Breakfast held at an American Library Association Conference was on June 27, 1972, in Chicago, IL. At this time, the award was not recognized as an official ALA Award. The 7:30 a.m. time slot was chosen as not to conflict with ALA’s scheduled programs. 1972 Glyndon Greer moved to Atlanta, GA. The Award was managed by Mrs. Greer and Minnie Clayton, Archivist of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Non-Violent Social Change. 1973 Jean Coleman served as the first director of the then, ALA Office for Services to the Disadvantaged, 1973–1986. She was responsible for convening a group of librarians at the 1981 ALA mid-winter meeting for the purpose of keeping the award alive. She helped to oversee the smooth transition of the award to the Social Responsibilities Round Table (SRRT) and was instrumental in establishing it as an official ALA award in 1982. 1973–1976 The Atlanta University School of Library Science and Information Studies became the sponsoring organization. Mrs. Greer served as chair of the award and Dr. Virginia Lacy Jones, Dean of the Library School, served as co-chair. 1974 The first Illustrator Award was presented to George Ford for his illustrations in Ray Charles by Sharon Bell Mathis. Ms. Mathis also won the author award. The first time the author and illustrator award was awarded to the same book. 1974 The Coretta Scott King Book Awards seal was designed by the internationally known Atlanta-based artist Lev Mills. Glyndon Greer gives a speech at the Coretta Scott King Book Awards breakfast in New York, 1974. 1976–1979 Mrs. Greer used the basement of her home in Atlanta as the awards’ headquarters. It continued to be governed by two groups an awards committee and advisory board. The two groups were composed of librarians from the Atlanta Public Library, the Atlanta University Center Colleges, the Atlanta Public Schools, and persons from the greater Atlanta Community. Ella Gaines Yates, then Director of the Atlanta Public Library, served as co-chair. 1979 A significant change was marked by the Coretta Scott King Awards on its tenth anniversary. At the American Library Association annual conference in Dallas, Texas, the Atlanta-based group and advisory committee merged to form the Coretta Scott King Award Task Force. Under the leadership of E.J. Josey, a founding member of SRRT, the award was placed under the Social Responsibilities Round Table (SRRT) within the American Library Association. Glyndon Greer served as the first task force chair. Author Ossie Davis accepts the Coretta Scott King Award for his book Escape to Freedom during the 1979 Annual Conference in Dallas. 1980 The library world was saddened by the death of Glyndon Flynt Greer on August 24, 1980. Mrs. Greer was able to see her dream come true and the Coretta Scott King Book Awards was now a part of the American Library Association conference schedule. 1980 Following the death of Mrs. Greer, Harriet Brown, Supervisor of School Libraries, New York Board of Education, became Chair of the SRRT Coretta Scott King Award Task Force. 1980 Encyclopedia Britannia first donated a set of encyclopedia to the winning author and World Book did the same for the winning illustrator. These companies’ involvement has continued with the addition of the electronic versions of both encyclopedias. 1981 Effie Lee Morris, former Children’s Services Coordinator of the San Francisco Public Library and first African American President of the Public Library Association, assumed leadership as the CSK Award Task Force Chair. 1982 Coretta King Book Awards Breakfast 1982 It was during the leadership of Effie Lee Morris, CSK Award Task Force Chair, and Jean Coleman, first Director of ALA’s Office for Literary and Outreach Services, that the award met ALA criteria and council passed a resolution declaring the Coretta Scott King Book Awards as an official American Library Association Award. Pat Cummings gives her acceptance speech at the Coretta Scott King Award gala breakfast event at the 1984 Annual Conference in Dallas, TX. Seated from left to right are E. J. Josey, Coretta Scott King, and Effie Lee Morris. 1984 A special highlight of the CSK Book Awards breakfast was the presence of children. The young guests sponsored by publishers and other generous donors came from the geographical area of the ALA annual conference location. Thanks to the winning publishers, each young guest received autographed copies of the award books for their personal collections.

Jones at the celebration for the Coretta Scott King Award at the 1984 Annual Conference in Dallas. 1984 Coretta Scott King made her first appearance at an Awards Presentation at the American Library Association Conference in Dallas, TX. 1985 John F. Carroll, one of the CSK founders, passed away in October 1985. His company, Carroll Publishing, provided the plaques for the winners for five years after the founding of the award. It was Carroll who encouraged the two other founders, Glyndon Greer and Mabel McKissack, to establish the CSK Book Awards and worked with them to develop criteria, name the award and spread the word to publishers. 1989 Dr. Bernice A. King was the guest speaker at the 20th Anniversary Awards Presentation at ALA in Dallas, TX. Mabel McKissack, the only living founder, made a special appearance as well. 1989 Dr. Sybil Moses, Office of Literacy and Outreach Services (OLOS) Director, secured a grant from the Carnegie Reading List Award Grant to produce the first full-color brochure promoting the CSK Book Awards, chronologically listing all winners and honors. The brochure was published by ALA and made available for purchase at the ALA store. 1993 The CSK Task Force voted to recognize the works of new authors and illustrators who demonstrated promise. The award was initially named the Genesis Award. 1994 Under the leadership of Carolyn Garnes, CSK Book Award Task Force chair, the 25th Anniversary of the CSK Book Awards was celebrated in Miami, FL, at the ALA conference. Attendees enjoyed a gala reception and autographing party featuring 17 award-winning authors and illustrators. 1994 The first edition of The Coretta Scott King Awards Book: From Vision to Reality, edited by Dr. Henrietta Smith, was published by the American Library Association. It presented the history of the award, biographical sketches of winners and honor recipients, annotations of each title, and alluring reproductions of illustrations from award winners from 1974 to 1994. 1995 The first Genesis Award recipient was Sharon Draper for her book, Tears of a Tiger. 1998 The Genesis Award was renamed the CSK New Talent Award. 1998 During the tenure of Barbara Jones Clark as CSK Book Award Task Force chair, a national awareness campaign was launched. The campaign was designed to acquaint a wider audience with the role that the Coretta Scott King Book Awards played in showcasing the valuable and informative works of African American authors and Illustrators. The late Virginia Hamilton served as honorary chairperson for that campaign. The first CSK Book Awards DVD was released. 1998 Satia Orange, OLOS Director, moved to produce the seal in a more environmentally friendly format-on black background with character details superimposed in bronze for the winners and pewter for the honor books. The seal for the New Talent Award was detailed in green, a color symbolic of beginnings. This change also enabled the sale of the seals to become more profitable. 1999 With the permission of the Steptoe family, the CSK New Talent Award was officially renamed the Coretta Scott King/John Steptoe New Talent Award. This award honors the late CSK award- winning illustrator John Steptoe for his contribution to children’s literature by recognizing and encouraging the talent of an African American author or illustrator early in their career. 1999 The second edition of The Coretta Scott King Awards Book: 1970– 1999 was published by ALA and again edited by Dr.

  • Promoting Equity in Children's Literacy Instruction: Using a Critical
    Volume 12, 2009 Approved December 2009 ISSN: 1523-4320 www.ala.org/aasl/slr Promoting Equity in Children’s Literacy Instruction: Using a Critical Race Theory Framework to Examine Transitional Books Sandra Hughes-Hassell, PhD, Associate Professor, School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Heather A. Barkley, MLS, School Library Media Coordinator, Dixon Road Elementary School, Willow Spring, North Carolina. Elizabeth Koehler, Master's Student, School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The purpose of this study was to examine books that support transitional readers to determine the representation of people of color. The findings were analyzed using critical race theory (CRT), a theoretical framework that places race at the center of educational research and discourse. The results indicate that despite the increasing ethnic and racial diversity in the United States, children of color are rare in transitional books. Even rarer are authors of color. The authors conclude that this lack of representation of people of color in transitional books is a subtle form of racism that denies children of color the kinds of resources research suggests they need to become motivated, engaged, and proficient readers. In the tradition of CRT, the article closes by offering nine strategies school librarians can employ to promote equity in literacy instruction for children of color. “Who says black boys won’t read?”— Sharon Flack, 2007 Introduction Reading scores among African American, Hispanic, and American Indian fourth graders significantly lag behind those of White and Asian American children.

This is a transcript of the movie available on TeachingBooks.net. It is offered here to give you a quick assessment of the program topics, as well as to enable people with auditory disabilities access to the words. Because this is a transcript of an edited movie, it should not be used as an assessment of Ms. Drapers writing. Many of the sentences found here were edited, and all editing decisions are the sole responsibility of TeachingBooks.net. I was not dreaming of becoming a writer. As a writing teacher, I would pass out papers and pass out assignments, and I had this young man who gave me a contest application. And he actually challenged me. He said, “Youre always making us write stuff. Why dont you write something sometime.” So I went back, typed up the story, sent it in. Several months later I was informed I had won first prize. It was published in Ebony magazine in December of 1990 —a long time ago. On Writing Im an English teacher. I think as a teacher first and a writer second. So, I purposefully put symbolism and figurative language and metaphor, and all of the things that I would ask a student—as a teacher—to find in a book. I knew what appealed to teenagers. I knew what kinds of books turn teenagers off. And I wanted to write something that would grab them and would get them, so I decided to write a book in a multi-genre format.
