*** The Black Press***
The film Soldiers without Swords sparked some thoughts in my mind. I knew that African Americans had experienced a lot of hardships after the Emancipation Proclamation when trying to become journalists, but I didn't realize the actual struggles.
The had to fight a hegemonic society in trying to make a publication and trying to learn how to write. This is something that we all take for granted now and it really opened my eyes to the history of journalism. We have really come a long way in making the journalism playing field more equal for those who have a voice.
