The Edward R. Murrow Collection

He set the gold standard for journalism, covering the defining events and personalities of the 20th century with a combination of courage, integrity, social responsibility and journalistic excellence that made him a legend. Witness the journalistic bravery in the revolutionary documentary series See It Now and the compassion in his famous expos? on the plight of migrant workers, Harvest of Shame. Watch icons come alive in electrifying interviews that offer a bold look at Kennedy, Castro, Brando, Monroe and others. Ask yourself whether any modern reporter would challenge today?s leaders effectively as Murrow did during Senator Joseph McCarthy?s communist witch hunts. The legend is back to ignite memories for the Greatest Generation ? and to inspire greatness for a new generation.

Edward R. Murrow was invited to the White House for dinner with Franklin Roosevelt, but the dinner had to be rescheduled. The date was December 7, 1941
