The film won awards from the Kansas City Film Critics Circle, the Political Film Society, and the NAACP Image Awards.
Glory did not win a Political Film Society award. Contemporary and awards-record sources list it as a Human Rights nominee, with Driving Miss Daisy as the winner.
Full reasoning
This sentence overstates Glory's awards haul.
A contemporaneous article by Political Film Society founder Michael Haas lists Glory among the Society's Human Rights nominees, not as a winner. Separately, IMDb's event record for the Political Film Society's 1991 awards lists Driving Miss Daisy as the Human Rights winner for that year.
So while Glory did win from the Kansas City Film Critics Circle and the NAACP Image Awards, the article's statement that it also "won awards from ... the Political Film Society" is incorrect.

Winner ... Human Rights ... Driving Miss Daisy
1989 National Board of Review of Motion Pictures Awards Best Picture ———— Nominated
This National Board of Review entry is wrong. Glory was not a Best Picture nominee; NBR named Driving Miss Daisy Best Film and included Glory on its Top 10 Films list.
Full reasoning
The National Board of Review's official 1989 awards page does not list Glory as a Best Picture nominee. Instead, it names Driving Miss Daisy as Best Film and includes Glory in the Top 10 Films list.
So the table entry labeling Glory as "Best Picture ... Nominated" misstates what recognition the film actually received from the National Board of Review.
