If you’re interested in understanding the political divides among white American women ahead of the 2020 elections, and what shifts might have occurred since 2016, you might want to pay attention to the unfolding controversy over racism within the Romance Writers of America.

While researching, we came across this picture of the first RWA Board. Standing L to R: Vivian Stephens, Rita Estrada, Rita Gallagher, Peggy Cleaves, Barbara Stephens, Celina Rios Mullan. Seated L to R: Parris Afton Bonds, Sondra Stanford. #RomanceHistory

The first major Publisher has made the right move and an important stance with this directive to RWA. HarperCollins Canada & Harlequin will not attend RWA 2020 Nationals.

Additionally Avon will not be attending and refocusing the Beverly Jenkins Diverse Focuses sponsorship.

Here is Avon’s tweet about it too https://t.co/bbbKGcuCJ3
