Eyes on the
Prize
|
Eyes on the Prize is widely recognized
as the most important documentary on the Civil Rights
movement. First aired in 1987, the series was nominated
for an Academy Award, and won six Emmys, as well as the
Peabody Award, and the top duPont-Columbia award for excellence
in broadcast journalism. However, due to copyright issues
the series has not been seen since that first airing.
It is now back on PBS, and a new generation is getting
a chance to see one of the great stories in American history.
Judy Richardson was a producer on the series, and she
remains one of our most informative voices on the African-American
experience. She makes a great choice for a Black History
Month speaker.
