IFAJS Cuba trips provide opportunity, enlightenment for black journalists
By Courtland Milloy
The Washington Post
When you get a telephone call fromDeWayne Wickham, a columnist for USA Today and director of the Institute for Advanced Journalism Studies at North Carolina A&T University, you never know what adventure lies ahead.
He might ask if you'd like to accompany him to the White House for a meeting with President Obama; get a briefing from the president's national security adviser; participate in a conference call with the nation's top civil rights leaders.
Or, in my case recently,go to Cuba with him and a group of black journalists on an assignment sponsored by the IFAJS, which he founded in 2002.
At newspapers throughout the country, the ranks of foreign and national correspondents contain few journalists of color. That means many of us rarely get to practice our craft at the highest levels.
Wickham's Institute, along with his soon to be established Center for Global Journalism at NCA&T, are the only writing and editing programs in the nation seriously aimed at rectifying that problem.
And African-American journalists aren't the only beneficiaries.
“Black journalists can bring a perspective to the news that provides readers with a better understanding of the issues,” Wickham told me.
My week of journalism studies in Cuba this May was a case in point.
In the minds of many U.S. citizens, Cuba is but a caricature of a country, a place synonymous with Fidel Castro and communism.
Wickham, who made the first many visit to Cuba back in 1999, knew there was more to the story. Of course, he never told us what the rest of that story was or ought to be. He just wanted to give black journalists an opportunity to see for themselves and come to our own conclusions.
