Wesley Morris, a Pulitzer Prize winner, covers film at Grantland.
"That's what writing about race and popular culture is for me: it's crime reporting. It's not me looking for an agenda when I go to the movies ... but I feel a moral responsibility to report a crime being committed. That's what I'm forced to do over and over again."
Thanks to this week's sponsors, Warby Parker and TinyLetter.
