​What's Happening:
Jenny Torres Sanchez gracefully received her FTR award for 2022 for WE ARE NOT FROM HERE by giving us an amazing speech:

I wrote WE ARE NOT FROM HERE because I wanted to be honest. A lot of people are afraid
of truth and honesty. But we cannot deny truth simply for the comfort of some. We are not
protecting children and teens by keeping or denying their truth from them; instead we are
harming them.

The Florida Association for Media in Education joins with American Library Association and BCALA in “condemning the systemic and systematic social injustices endured by Black people and People of Color and in working not only responsively, but also preemptively, to eradicate racism anywhere and everywhere it exists.”
