This annual program, funded by the Jonah Solkoff Eskin Memorial Fund brought together the three living Ambassadors for Young Peoples Literature in the Coolidge Auditorium to pay tribute to the fourth Ambassador, Walter Dean Myers, who passed away in 2014. His son, author, illustrator, Christopher Myers, presented a tribute to his father that opened with a clip from an interview from the PBS Newshour by journalist Jeff Brown. Students in the audience came from Brent Elementary, Hyde-Addison Elementary, Washington Latin Public Charter, John Eaton Elementary, and Alice Deal Middle School -- all in Washington, DC, and the Holton-Arms School in Bethesda, Maryland.
