Last night we were honored to accept our second Edward R. Murrow Award for Excellence in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in the category of Small Digital Organizations. Book banning and censorship have taken center stage as lightning rod issues in communities nationwide, with much attention focused on schools and public libraries. However, prisons actually represent the largest source of book censorship in the country. To shed light on this issue, we partnered with PEN America to amplify the experiences of those who are too often silenced, with a series of personal essays by three, award-winning incarcerated writers: Tomas Keen, Kwaneta Harris, and Daniel Pirkel. We are honored to work with them and to share their stories. Thank you, Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) for this recognition! Be sure to read the three essays here: https://lnkd.in/eCS3w8sT
