Topic: Pulitzer Prize
The Pulitzer Prize does not have a specific category for Black history, but Black historians and writers have been recipients of other Pulitzer Prize categories such as history, biography, and journalism. Some notable Black historians who have won Pulitzer Prizes include Eric Foner for his book "The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery" in 2011, and Isabel Wilkerson for "The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration" in 2011. These works and others by Black historians have played a significant role in shaping our understanding of American history, including the experiences of Black Americans.
