The Alabama Library Association has presented awards since 1958 to outstanding Alabama authors to honor their achievements and to promote interest in their books.

Brian VanGorder, defensive coordinator for the football team, received the Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant football coach from the Downtown Rotary Club of Little Rock. The Broyles Award is named after longtime Arkansas athletic director Frank Broyles, who became known for producing top assistant coaches during his coaching career with the Razorbacks. VanGorder received a 100-pound cast bronze statue worth $5,000 and an additional $2,500. Sista, Speak!, a book by associate professor of English Sonja Lanehart, received an honorable mention in the 2003 Myers Outstanding Book Award competition sponsored by the Gustavus Myers Center for the Study of Bigotry and Human Rights in North America. The selection committee noted their appreciation for the book’s “creative craftsmanship in analysis of the dynamics of language oppression and their feeling that it will help many form better ways of interacting as members of complex and diverse societies.” |
