The Pulitzer Prize does not have a specific category for Black history, but there are many instances of African American authors and historians winning Pulitzer Prizes for their work in various categories. For example, Isabel Wilkerson won the Pulitzer Prize for her book "The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration," which explores the migration of African Americans from the southern United States to the north and west in the 20th century.

Similarly, Taylor Branch won a Pulitzer Prize for his book "Parting the Waters: America in the King Years 1954-63," which is part of his acclaimed trilogy on the civil rights movement and Martin Luther King Jr. These are just a few examples of African American authors recognized by the Pulitzer Prize for their contributions to American history and literature.
