I have lived in Detroit most of my life and very few things get past me that involves Sigma, but this story just came to my attention recently.
I found out from Bro. Madison Joe Gray, writer with Time Magazine and former Detroiter that his former co-worker at the Detroit News was a Sigma and Pulitzer Prize winner.
Here is Bro. Angelo Henderson’s bio:
Working as deputy Detroit bureau chief of the Wall Street Journal, Bro. Angelo B. Henderson was honored with the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for distinguished feature writing. His dramatic narrative detailed the lives affected by an attempted drugstore robbery that ended in the robber’s death.
The Pulitzer Prize, the most prestigious award given for journalistic excellence, is presented annually by Columbia University in New York City. He is the 22nd African American to win this award since its inception in 1917. He joins the ranks of literary giants Toni Morrison, Alice Walker and the late Gwendolyn Brooks. Only 23 other African Americans have been awarded the individual honor. He’s also the first African American to win the Pulitzer for The Wall Street Journal, considered the world’s most influential newspaper.
