EYES ON THE PRIZE is the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the American civil rights movement and is hard to find these days. It focuses on the events, issues, triumphs and tragedies of ordinary people as they tested their power to effect change in America during a period termed "the Second American Revolution". This is a Free 14-part documentary series for civics, history, American History, Social Studies, and African American studies teachers in need of this particular program. 14 video compact discs (VCD). SASE (padded envelope).
'Eyes on the Prize' is one of the most effective documentaries ever put together that dealt with civic engagement," says civil rights leader Lawrence Guyot, who led the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and today is a program manager for the D.C. Department of Human Services. "This is analogous to stopping the circulation of all the books about Martin Luther King, stopping the circulation of all the books about Malcolm X, stopping the circulation of books about the founding of America.
"Eyes on the Prize," which was produced by Blackside Inc., a film and television company founded by Henry Hampton, won 23 awards, including two Emmys, for outstanding documentary and for outstanding achievement in writing. The first six parts aired in 1987. It was last broadcast on PBS in 1994. Many of the rights in the eight-part sequel, "Eyes on the Prize II: America at the Racial Crossroads (1965-1985)," expired five years after it aired in 1990.
