Racist Pulitzer Prize
editI couldn't believe it, but he really was the first African American to win the Pulitzer for prose writing- Gwendolyn Brooks won her's for poetry. No Claude McKay, Jean Toomer, Richard Wright, James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, Ishmael Reed (also no Pynchon in his great time (?)). But Hemingway won his only in the 1950s, and I think F. S. Fitzgerald never won it (?). Still, the racism is obvious.--Ralfdetlef (talk) 07:36, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
