You can find more information about the Coretta Scott King Book Awards at – The Official Site (from the ALA) and Wikipedia. For the first few years, only Authors were acknowledged, but starting in 1974, and regularly thereafter, an Illustrator was also recognized.

The concept of the award was first proposed in 1969 and the first actual award was presented in 1970. Awards are given both to authors and to illustrators. Named for Coretta Scott King, wife of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., this award recognizes outstanding books for young adults and children by African Americans, that reflect the African-American experience. The Coretta Scott King Award is presented annually by the Ethnic & Multicultural Information Exchange Round Table, part of the American Library Association (ALA).
