Martin Luther King Memorial Prize

The Martin Luther King Memorial Prize was instituted by novelist John Brunner and his wife and was awarded annually to a literary work published in the United States or Britain that was deemed to improve interracial understanding,[1][2] 'reflecting the ideals to which Dr Martin Luther King dedicated his life'.[3] As of 1984, the author of the winning work was awarded £100 (equivalent to £330 in 2025).[3] Brunner died in 1995, and it is uncertain if the award has continued.
