THE SPINGARN MEDAL was instituted in 1914 by the late
J.E. Spingarn (then Chairman of the NAACP Board of Directors), who gave
annually until his death in 1939, a gold medal to be awarded for the
highest or noblest achievement by an American Negro during the preceding
year or years.
Educator, pianist, first African American

classical music composers, George Walker, is most deserving of the next THE SPINGARN MEDAL. Please see http://georgetwalker.com/ and ask your NAACP chapter to recommend George Walker for THE SPINGARN MEDAL
