The contest honors the best short stories, plays, essays, and poems among hundreds submitted annually by men and women nationwide.

He provides empirical rationale for how collaborative conversations in a mutual accountability model can reduce racial division.

Sentenced to death, he came within minutes of the electric chair - nearly a dozen times.
