The prize, which carries an award of $5,000, commemorates the Society's former president (2016-2017), who died in May 2019. Tony Horwitz was a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, a former staff writer for the New Yorker, and a distinguished historian whose distinctive voice was marked by surpassing humanity and grace. The prize, which was awarded for the first time in 2020, is supported by The Cedars Foundation.
