American book price adjusted because of racist language

new york - After months of debate and consultation, an American organization for youth libraries (ALSC) has renamed a prestigious book award named after Laura Ingalls Wilder. The organization decided to do so because Ingalls Wilder would have used racist language in her book series Het kleine huis on the prairie.

There was criticism on the passage 'No people. Only Indians live here in the description of an area. That text has already been adapted in 1953. The word 'people' was then replaced by 'settlers', The Washington Post reported. There are also people in the books who say that 'the only good Indian is a dead Indian'.

The book price that was named the 'Laura Ingalls Wilder Award' is now called the 'Children's Literature Legacy Award'. From the small house on the prairie a television series was made in the seventies and eighties.
