Response to Soliders Without Swords

The way I felt about seeing the first half of the movie in class titled Soldiers Without Swords made me appreciate the strength that African-American community held during the hardships that were thrown at them during the 19Th century of America still not giving them equal opportunities that were suppose to be giving. My admiration began when I noticed that even though the community knew they didn't have a voice they thought of other means that helped them get their point across which also became a major accomplishment for the community. The accomplishment that became so notable for the community that inspired many to come and those after was the newspaper, but this wasn't just any old newspaper it was the "black newspaper". This paper created the voice they were hoping to gain since things had changed legally.
The strength that it bought to the community made changes many people started to gain the urge to read as well as make their children and grandchildren read, this also created a whole new field of jobs for many black people. Much of the community also took an interest in this work and wanted to be journalist, columnist, photographers and editors. Hopefully the second half also has a huge impact as the first did.
