Screenwriter
and Obie Award-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks ’85 has received
a prestigious MacArthur Foundation Fellowship, commonly known
as a "genius grant." Parks is one of twenty-three recipients of
this year’s fellowships. Each will receive $500,000 over five
years of "no strings attached" support, announced the John D.
and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Wednesday. To the College’s
knowledge, Parks is the first MHC alumna to receive the award.
