Patricia "Pat" Jackson - On her daughter Sonya's interest in journalism (clip)

Kathryn Wall: When did she decide that she wanted to go into journalism?

Pat Jackson: She’s picking it up from her grandmother, Marian Cheek Jackson, always capturing information, always wanting to make sure that the voice of others were being heard. Instantly being accepted at UNC, there she didn't think of any other profession except that of journalism. Again, working in the church as an early child doing the children's sermons, again sharing information via the word of The Lord, making sure others always know there is a way and it’s already ingrained, or the path is already set for you to follow. The choice of being a journalist, again, always wanting her voice and others stories to be told throughout, and again by the person themselves or the people that know of the event and the things that are going on firsthand.
