Does the Pulitzer Prize Hate Substack?

I don’t have a good track record when dealing with the Pulitzer folks.

I’ve certainly made an effort. Back in 2022, I begged the Pulitzer board to reconsider its 1965 rejection of Duke Ellington.

Their denial was scandalous. The Pulitzer Board decided to give no prize in music that year, rather than honor Ellington—although its own music jury had recommended him as recipient.
