Pulitzer Prize for Music Goes to George Walker '41, '85 hon. When the caller notified alumnus George Walker that he had won the 1996 Pulitzer Prize for music for his composition , the first African-American to receive the honor in its 80-year history says he could hardly believe the news. The astounded 73-year-old retired professor did not even immediately share the news with his sister, Francis Walker-Slocum '42. The professor emerita of pianoforte at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music learned of the award, second-hand, from private students at her home in Oberlin. It was only after hearing a news broadcast, promptly followed by the delivery of masses of flowers and congratulations and an influx of television cameras, photographers and reporters, that George Walker was assured that he had actually been selected for the honor.
