Sonia’s Pulitzer Prize Essay – 2016
The Pulitzer Prizes recently celebrated their centennial. I was asked, as part of marking the celebration, to write about how winning the award changed me. Readers pushed me to suggest solutions to the problems I describe, and to show them how they can best bring positive change. Read my essay, which was included in a book handed out at the Pulitzer centennial dinner.
