Greenrex · July 19

University alumnus Eric Gay has been awarded the 2024 Pulitzer Prize in Feature Photography for his work documenting the journey of migrants from Columbia to the United States.

Gay is one of eight photographers at the Associated Press who shot the collection of photos in Central America and at the U.S.–Mexico borders, in both Texas and California, who won the Pulitzer.

Gay contributed two photos depicting migrants crossing the U.S. border from Mexico into Texas. In one image, a mother helps her young child crawl underneath a concertina wire, a type of barbed wire fence, that runs along the Rio Grande river at the border in Eagle Pass, Texas.
