  • 2013 Discussion Guide the Coretta Scott King Book Awards Seal Was Designed by Artist Lev Mills in 1974
    american library association ethnic and multicultural information exchange round table coretta scott king book awards committee Coretta Scott King Book Awards 2013 discussion guide The Coretta Scott King Book Awards Seal was designed by artist Lev Mills in 1974. The symbolism in the seal refl ects both Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s philosophy and the ideals of the award. The basic circle represents continuity in movement, resolving from one idea to another. Within the circle is the image of an African American child reading a book. The fi ve main religious symbols below the image of the child represent nonsectarianism. The superimposed pyramid symbolizes both strength and Atlanta University, the award’s headquarters when the seal was designed. At the apex of the pyramid is the dove, symbolic of peace. The rays shine toward peace and brotherhood. The Coretta Scott King Book Awards seal images and award names are solely and exclusively owned by the American Library Association. The Coretta Scott King Book Award A Living Legend The Coretta Scott King Book Awards have grown since their conception in the late 1960s. At a dinner gala of the New Jersey Library Association in May 1970, Lillie Patterson was honored for her biography, Martin Luther King, Jr.: Man of Peace. In 1972, the fi rst Coretta Scott King Book Awards breakfast was held at an ALA conference site. Offi cial affi liation with the Social Responsibilities Round Table (SRRT) came in 1980, and in 1982, the American Library Associa- tion recognized the Coretta Scott King Award as an association award.
