#JeSuisCharlie
Journalists were murdered by terrorists in the offices of the satirical French newspaper Charlie Hebdo on Jan. 7, but their story was not silenced.
The killings of 10 staff members and two police officers in Paris sparked outrage around the world.
#JeSuisCharlie ("I am Charlie") became the rallying cry in a global social media campaign supporting the murdered journalists.
The Newseum joins with journalists and all others who support freedom of expression to declare that such cowardly attempts to thwart free speech and a free press will not succeed, and that all people should be able to express themselves freely and without fear. |
