Culture (Awards)

While the award in this announcement might not be well known outside of the science fiction and fantasy community, I’m sharing this letter for a larger purpose. It offers an exemplary way of addressing the changes in cultural awareness, learning from the past without discarding the positive elements and yet still moving into a more welcoming future. It could well stand as a strong example for any organization facing the task of addressing difficult truths in its past.
