Comments from the Judges
“Fascinating look at the segregation, integration and then re-segregation of Tuscaloosa schools told through the eyes of three generations of a single family. Their personal insights and experiences worked very effectively in telling the story of the impact that racial discrimination and politics have on education and the students schools are supposed to serve.”
“Powerful, extraordinarily well reported pieces about
segregation. The first one in particular combines the personal
narratives of one family with the wider and historical social
trends that affected their lives. The amount of leg work
and legal research for these pieces pay off very well. The sweep
and ambition of the pieces are rare. Congrats.”
