black history month - eyes on the prize
My friends over at Downhill Battle have mounted a campaign to make people aware of the movie Eyes on the Prize. Here’s what they have to say about the movie and the campaign -
Throughout Black History Month we are celebrating the struggle and triumph of the civil rights movement with screenings of Eyes on the Prize Part 1: Awakenings. Eyes on the Prize is the most renowned civil rights documentary of all time; for many people, it is how they first learned about the Civil Rights Movement (more about the film). But this film has not been available on video or television for the past 10 years simply because of expired copyright licenses. Join us in building a new mass audience for this film: organize or attend a screening in your city, town, library, school, or home.
