Jack Dykinga was the first Chicago Sun-Times photographer ever to win the Pulitzer Prize, honored for a somber series of stark photographs taken in 1970 at state schools for the mentally retarded in Illinois. After the photographs were published, there was a large public outcry of outrage. In response, Illinois government officials canceled their plans to reduce funding supporting the State Department of Mental Health.
This piece includes a number of black&white photographs from Dykinga's striking Pulitzer Prize Portfolio.
