JD Crowe is this year’s winner of the Robert F. Kennedy Award for Editorial Cartooning. The RFK judges cited the cartoonist for the Alabama Media Group “for his use of wit and artistry to illuminate policies that are harming women, the poor, and people of color in the state of Alabama.”
“I’m just a dork who can draw a little, so it’s always a sweet shock to win an award for doing something I love,” Crowe told AL.com. “I am tickled and especially proud to receive this RFK Award – an award that focuses on human rights and injustice – for a body of work mostly comprised of Alabama’s dystopian politics – now mirrored by the Trump administration. As always, I thank this state’s voters for keeping the pond stocked with outrageously bassackward, corrupt leaders and politicians.”
