At WI16, Booksellers Were Very Engaged By Ed Nawotka and Claire Kirch | Feb 26, 2021
Due to the pandemic, the American Booksellers Association’s annual Winter Institute went virtual this year. It attracted 1,971 participants, up from the 1,500 attendees at last year’s live meeting in Baltimore. The event, held February 18–20, offered panels focused on pragmatic bookselling issues such as finances, labor laws, neurodiversity in the workplace, and strategies for better engaging with e-commerce. There were inspirational talks from celebrities, including former president Barack Obama and bestselling author Brené Brown, as well as keynotes and appearances by poet Amanda Gorman, futurist Brian David Johnson, and novelists Lauren Groff, Colson Whitehead, and Viet Thanh Nguyen.
Students’ images, words celebrate Dr. King’s legacy of social justice
Back in 2006, Warner Norcross + Judd LLP reached out to Grand Rapids sixth graders, asking them to take part in a contest about what the words of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. meant to them.
The firm asked the students to write an essay. The hope was to encourage students to become good writers, to think critically about Dr. King’s legacy and to translate those words into action within their schools or the larger community.
Grand prize winner: Alone, by artist Trinity Talbert
Now in its 16
th year, the contest features a diverse and dynamic new format to honor the civil rights icon’s legacy of peace and justice.
