Eyes on the Prize looks at the civil rights movement in the 1960's. It was obvious through the documentary that journalists were as much a part of the civil rights movement in the 60's as anybody. Journalists truly were able to be a voice for the voiceless by bringing the protests to the public's eyes.
It's things like Eyes on the Prize that inspire me to become a journalist and remind me that journalism isn't only about interviewing the local high school football hero. Being a journalist is about reporting the truth to the people and helping those who can't help themselves.
