writes:

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 Pulitzer Prize Winner in  Music, and most distinguished living 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
