‘Eloquent, even poetic’ — E-N journalists take first place in storytelling, editorial writing and business reporting
‘We still have to fight’ — activist’s connection to Juneteenth runs deep
Hinton grew up in San Antonio under Jim Crow, and Davis’ profile vividly evoked a not-so-distant time when Blacks were required to sit in the back of buses and pay a poll tax and were allowed into Playland Park, with its famed roller coaster, on Tuesdays only. In his profile of Banda, Davis described how the sight of barber chairs bolted to a tile floor and a box of magazines “swept me back in time to my childhood” and to a Georgia barber shop where his great-grandfather took him for haircuts.
“As he and fellow veterans, church deacons and brickyard-working men solved the ills of the world, I’d flip through periodicals like Argosy, Ebony, and Popular Mechanics fanned out on a table like a gambler’s hand of cards,” Davis wrote.Clack, a columnist and member of the Express-News editorial board, was honored for a selection of five editorials on topics ranging from the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S.
The contest judges said of Clack’s work: “The arguments are clear, strong and persuasive. The writing is eloquent, even poetic.”
