Good Sunday morning! It is so good to be together with family, friends, and colleagues in Chicago. I am appreciative and honored to stand before you to respectfully accept the 2023 Coretta Scott King–Virginia Hamilton Award for Lifetime Achievement as Practitioner. Past winners of this distinguished award include Dorothy L. Guthrie, Dr. Pauletta Brown Bracy, Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop, Deborah D. Taylor, Demetria Tucker, and the beloved Dr. Henrietta M. Smith.

I try to work on books that impact me personally. I was fortunate enough to illustrate Carole Boston Weatherford’s eloquent words and interpretation of the hymns that have been sung in African American community churches for what seems like centuries. I do not claim to have the same poetic abilities as Carole when it comes to writing, but if you can allow me to give my interpretation of the moving passages of Standing in the Need of Prayer, I’ll begin. * * *I’m old-school.

Clearly, I’m a very fortunate person. I’m blessed. I’ll never forget, and I’ll be forever grateful for, the phone call I received from the Coretta Scott King Book Awards Jury. As any writer in this room would understand, Freewater was like my baby. So, the moment you know your baby has found its way in the world cannot be forgotten. Of course, we all know it takes a village. I’ve had some amazing people along for the ride.
