We heard it through the grapevine: On Wednesday March 26, 2025, Pulitzer on the Road will rev up its (proverbial) 1966 Pontiac GTO and motor into Detroit on a James Jamerson bass line ("Bernadette," please!) for a conversation with recent Pulitzer winners and finalists on cultural criticism today. The event (in partnership with Michigan Central and with support from the Knight Foundation's Detroit Office) will be held at the city's iconic Michigan Central Station.
