EYES ON THE PRIZE

Riveting news footage and dramatic eyewitness accounts bring to life the people, both black and white, who have challenged America to live up to its promise that “all men are created equal.” From little-known personal efforts to historic national events, the powerful documentary follows the fight for freedom and equal rights from the back of the bus to political, economic, and social empowerment. Examines such topics as Brown v. Board of Education, integration in Little Rock, Martin Luther King Jr. and the March on Washington, the Black Consciousness Movement, Malcolm X, the election of black mayors in major cities, and the struggle for equal opportunity in jobs and education.
