The Sidney Hillman Foundation was named for the labor leader, Sidney Hillman (1887-1946), who was the first president of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America (ACWA). Immediately after his death, his union wished to honor him with a memorial
that would carry on his commitments to the lives of working people. On November 17, 1946, the General Executive Board of the
ACWA voted to establish the Sidney Hillman Foundation. ACWA contributed the first $100,000 and then raised one million dollars
from other organizations. In 1947, the Board of Directors issued the first grants for scholarships, research and lectures
on college campuses, and for medical research at the Sidney Hillman Health Centers.
In 1950, the Foundation launched the Hillman Prize in order to promote socially-responsible journalism. Starting with awards
in Book, Magazine, Newspaper, and Broadcast, the prize is now also offered in the categories of Photojournalism, Web, and
Opinion and Analysis. One important note is that the Hillman Foundation changed its dating system for prizes in 1999/ 2000.
The Foundation decided to name the prize for the year it was given rather than the year the work was produced, changing the
pattern of the previous fifty years. This new system continues to the present. This means that in effect there are no prizes
for the year 1999, but a year was not skipped in the granting of awards.
The Hillman Prize has been granted annually by the Sidney Hillman Foundation since 1950 in categories that included Book,
Newspaper, and Magazine. The Foundation did not keep complete citations for the articles, nor retain copies of the award-winning
submissions. Heather Furnas was contracted by the Hillman Foundation in order to locate the citations for the award-winning
newspaper and magazine articles and to obtain copies when possible. Included in the collection is an excel document with tabs
for each of the prize categories. The researcher included the complete citation, links if available and indicated if digital
copies were obtained. In separate files, there are .pdf files of what the researcher determined to be the winning articles,
organized by type of publication and year.
At a later date, the researcher was asked to locate transcripts of the lectures that were a part of the Hillman Lectureship
Program. If a transcript was located, a copy was placed in the Lectures folder. The researcher also tried to obtain newspaper
articles regarding these lectures, especially if they gave summaries. The best place to obtain a complete list of the lecturers
is in the "Twenty-Year Report," found Collection #5619/040 Box 2, Folder 8 and copied into this collection. There is also
a complete listing of the Reprint Series.
Some newspaper citations were particularly difficult to track down, and are therefore based on the researcher's best determination.
Some awards were granted without titles of particular articles, but rather the body of work of the journalist and themes that
were addressed. For example, Murray Kempton was granted the first newspaper award in 1950 for articles on "labor in the south."
The digital files obtained on Murray Kempton come from the clippings file in Box 1 Folder 3 (1950) in the Murray Kempton Papers
at Columbia's Rare Book and Manuscript Library. They are unsorted, and the researcher did not make a determination on which
articles won the prize.
Also included in the collection are photocopies from Merrill G. Burlingame Special Collections at Montana State University,
which hold the papers for Harry L. and Gretchen Billings, newspaper award winners in 1958 for their "editorials on civil liberties
and public welfare system" in the People's Voice. These copies come from collection #2095, Box 2, Folder 28-32, which are
all labeled "Hillman Award Correspondence"; "Hillman Award Clippings" come from Box 2, Folder 33. These documents might reveal
to researchers the process of nomination and selection for the prizes in general, and these award winners in particular, but
do not contain the newspaper articles.
