Broadcasting What's Right

When dogs and fire hoses are used to stop fellow human beings from doing what they believe is right, journalists know it is their duty to report and show the rest of the world what is going on. The Civil Rights Movement that started in the 1950s was a violent, sad part of American history. This was a movement of blacks protesting and marching for equality. The American people would not have known what was happening were it not for the faithful journalists that put themselves in the line of danger to bring the chaos to the peoples homes. TV's around first the U.S., and then the world saw what the American government was doing to those of different color. This era in America's history brought on new ways of reporting, and the fight for what's right brought a moment of peace.
