Eyes on the Prize is an award-winning 14-hour television series produced by Blackside and narrated by Julian Bond. Through contemporary interviews and historical footage, the series covers all of
the major events of the civil rights movement from 1954-1985.
Series topics range from the Montgomery bus boycott in 1954 to the Voting Rights Act in 1965; from community
power in schools to "Black Power" in the streets; from early acts of individual courage through to the flowering of a mass
movement and its eventual split into factions.
