Join RFK tomorrow for the 2022 Book and Journalism Awards

Besides being a judge in the editorial cartoon division, I highly recommend these awards for a look at some truly fantastic journalism that will open your eyes. The Pulitzers get more attention but I feel these awards are more interesting.

±+±+++++++++++++++

Visit https://rfkhro.org/rfkbja2022 at 4 pm EDT tomorrow (Tuesday, May 24)  to join us and an inspiring line-up of special presenters like Van Jones, Soledad O'Brien, Craig Melvin and more as they announce this year's award winners at the 2022 Book and Journalism Awards.

Want to add this event to your calendar? Then click here to download the event file for your calendar.

Excited about this event? Then follow us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter or YouTube and join the conversation by using the event hashtag #RFKBJA.

The team at RFK Human Rights
