The Spingarn Prize is the NAACP's highest award, a gold medal. It is named for its creator, an early founder and Chairman of the Board of the NAACP, Joel Spingarn.
Mr Spingarn, a white man, created the award for outstanding achievement by an African American, and funded it with a $20,000 gift to the NAACP.
