I knew the museum was going to be closing soon and I
specifically wanted to come because I've never actually been
here. And being in the field of journalism, I just wanted to
explore about all the history and the work that's been done
before me. This is what we're fighting for. This is why we do
what we do, not only to get these awards and get these
accolades but to show that freedom of the press is important
and the public voices matter.

It feels like you can't get enough time in here, so it feels
shocking that it's closing. It doesn’t feel quite real. Yeah.
And like I think for me just, I feel like the First Amendment
and freedom for speech and the press is so important. It's
how I grew up and I think even in our country, it's under
threat and it's sad to see. So, this feels even more important
and even sadder that it's closing.

It's just very sad to see it go. I mean, there’s so much
documented history that is really, you know, you can miss
some really important things and it really makes you think
about how important the press is.

I really want to be a photojournalist. That's my big, that’s the
dream job. And it's really cool like going to the Pulitzer Prize
photos, you get to see all these legendary photojournalists
like blown up that you normally wouldn't see anywhere else.
