Impressive! One thing I need to correct about your SRRT history- which is fantastic by the way- is that I did not bring Jesse Jackson to ALA - that was Dick Dougherty- the president before me. I brought Jonathan Kozol, Cesar Chavez, and Gloria Steinem!

That is a misreading of the Awards Manual, ALA and Endowment policy, particularly with respect to unit endowment's. In any case the Biblo award has been given FOUR times.
