This week in history: The Palm Beach Post wins a Pulitzer

On May 4, 1970, Palm Beach Post photographer Dallas Kinney was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in feature photography for his photographs of the poverty and poor working conditions of farm workers in the Glades in the Migration to Misery series. Later that month the Florida legislature passed a bill creating a state migrant labor commission.
