A Pulitzer Prize that should be revoked | Power Line
An open letter released today calls on the Pulitzer Prize Board to rescind the Prize for Commentary awarded to Nikole Hannah-Jones for her lead essay in The 1619 Project. The letter is signed by 21 Scholars and public writers. Among them are Victor Davis Hanson, Charles Kesler, Roger Kimball, Stanley Kurtz, Glenn Loury, Wilfred McClay, Peter Wood, and Jean Yarbrough.
For reasons I discussed in this post, the 1619 Project would be better called The New York Times Hate America project. John attacked the Times slander of our country here. In this post, I took on the Project s absurd claim that the American Revolution was, in significant part, the result of a desire to preserve slavery in America.
