• Source: Martin Luther King Memorial Prize
    • The Martin Luther King Memorial Prize was instituted by novelist John Brunner and his wife and was awarded annually to a literary work published in the US or Britain that was deemed to improve interracial understanding, "reflecting the ideals to which Dr. Martin Luther King dedicated his life". As of 1984, the author of the winning work was awarded £100 (equivalent to £410 in 2023). Brunner died in 1995, and it is uncertain if the award has continued.
