Tania Leon was just nominated for the Kennedy Center award. Would be a great platform during the acceptance speech to highlight and support this effort.

Duke Ellington WAS awarded Thd z Pulitzer in 1999. It is dishonest to not provide that face in your petition and all your articles that are out. I feel duped and it’s my bad for not researching better before I signed. But bad on you got not being honest.

Ellington is just the musician to come to the aid of these previous Pulitzer winners, validating their award!
