This movie shows that back then the white people would treat the black people very poorly and differently than them and they would discriminate against them. It also shows that colored people didn't have the same priorities as the white people in their time. Black people were't encouraged to achieve their goals and dreams like the white people were. Colored people were actually put down from their dreams and were told to get more "realistic" dreams like being a mechanic or some career that doesn't need much education to perform.
I learned from the movie that journalism can be very dangerous and you can be risking your life. Also, you have to be very out-there to be a good journalist. I also learned that there is only one truth, no matter who it's for or who it's against. The movie also shows that to be a good journalist, you must be very determined to get the facts that you need and that you must have good connections with the story you are on and you can't be afraid to go to the scene and get information. One must be fearless of getting what you need.
