Topic: Pulitzer Prize
The Pulitzer Prize does not have a specific category dedicated to Black history. However, there have been numerous instances where works focusing on important aspects of Black history and culture have been recognized and awarded with a Pulitzer Prize in different categories such as Biography, History, and Journalism.
For example, in 2019, Davie W. Blight won the Pulitzer Prize for History for his book "Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom," which explores the life and impact of the famed African American abolitionist and writer.
Similarly, in 2020, Jericho Brown's poetry collection "The Tradition," which also examines themes related to Black history and identity, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.
These are just a few examples of how works centered on Black history have been acknowledged and celebrated within the framework of the Pulitzer Prize awards.
