“Trump… had never shown much interest in books. A cabinet next to his bedside contained a book that Ivana later said she saw him occasionally leafing through: an anthology of Adolf Hitler’s speeches”

Pulitzer History
Ever wanted to sort Pulitzer Prize winning books by what time period they cover? I created a spreadsheet for the History and Biography winners, some of the dates are estimates, so feedback/corrections are welcome:

"First there was Civil Rights, and then there was the War, and now it is the Environment..." Wendell Berry, 1970
just substitute "Black Lives Matter," "Climate Change," and any number of Wars, and this could have been written today.
White Supremacy, War, and Land exploitation are all connected

Great question from Steven Newcomb:
"On what basis is it constitutionally permissible for the U. S. Supreme Court to categorize American Indians as 'heathens'--in contrast with the category *Christian* people--and then, by means of these religious categories to deny American Indians [rights]?"
