Demonstrations slated in NYC

NEW YORK - In view of the fact that Pulitzer Prize Board will meet in New York City, the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, in cooperation with the Ukrainian World Congress, is organizing demonstrations before The New York Times building in New York City, as well as bureaus throughout the U.S. to protest the Pulitzer awarded in 1932 to Walter Duranty.

Demonstrations are scheduled for Tuesday, November 18, at noon and proposed in cities where Ukrainian communities reside, including: Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Hartford, Albany and Washington. Similar demonstrations are planned in major cities throughout the world where The New York Times foreign bureaus are located.

On Friday, November 21, a second demonstration is planned before Columbia University's School of Journalism as the Pulitzer Prize Board and its special subcommittee on Duranty meet to presumably decide the fate of Duranty's Pulitzer Prize.
