And of COURSE it's Chicago..

 

Association removes Laura Ingalls Wilder's name from award

 

CHICAGO โ€”

 

A division of the American Library Association has voted to remove Laura Ingalls Wilder's name from a major children's book award over concerns with how the early-to-mid 20th century author portrayed blacks and Native Americans.

 

The Association for Library Service to Children's board made the unanimous decision Saturday at a meeting in New Orleans. The name has been changed to the Children's Literature Legacy Award.

 

The association says the work of Wilder - best known for her "Little House on the Prairie" novels - "includes expressions of stereotypical attitudes inconsistent with ALSC's core values."
