| Description: |
The tumultuous 60s inspired young black reporters like Lenore Jenkins-Allen
Social change for African Americans was so palpable she could practically taste its sweetness as she bore witness to the unfolding of the civil rights movement. The feeling of possibilities charged the Newsweek newsroom, too, where she moved through the ranks from a clerk on the mail desk to a researcher/reporter for staff writers. The numbers of blacks in the newsroom began to grow exponentially.
