Stephen Colbert, whose 11-year run as host of 'The Late Show' was defined in part by his feud with President Donald Trump, has received an anti-censorship award from a foundation established by author Ishmael Reed.
Colbert was among the recipients of the 47th annual American Book Awards announced by the Before Columbus Foundation, a non-profit organization that champions diversity in U.S. literature and culture.
CBS ended Colbert’s program in May, citing economic reasons for its decision, which Colbert and others have questioned. The foundation also honored a range of literary releases and notable figures in publishing.
