Text of Allen's Pulitzer Centennial Keynote, delivered at the annual awards ceremony on October 13, 2016
For a centennial Campfire event, a historian and a biographer return to the Maine town where Pulitzer had the big idea.
Over six weeks this summer, DC Humanities shared Pulitzer-winning work and organized workshops with 50 high school students in Washington as part of the Centennial Campfires Initiative.
A Pulitzer Prize centennial Campfire creates an unexpected challenge, a crafty solution and cheers from a young audience.
'We are excited about the more than 100 events planned for 2016, organized by communities from Guam to Bar Harbor, Anchorage to Miami. And the four marquee events have great potential to inspire new audiences around the best of American journalism, letters, drama and music.'
Organizations participating in the Pulitzer Centennial Marquee Project include the Newseum; The Poynter Institute; The Dallas Morning News with the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum, the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, and the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum; the Los Angeles Times with USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism; and the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard.
