Shortly after the Cleveland Foundation was formed, a true trailblazer in her own right, Edith Anisfield-Wolf, had the vision to establish the Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards. At the foundation, we are so proud to serve as stewards honoring and furthering her remarkable legacy. Edith leveraged the power of endowment to assure that the funding and resources would be available to continue the awards in perpetuity. Join us in elevating and honoring this year's winning authors who share an unrelenting commitment to revealing and chronicling enduring truths. Congratulations to Jonathan D. S. Schroeder, Tessa Hulls, Danzy Senna, Janice N. Harrington, and Yusef Komunyakaa on their Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards!
