Join us for a viewing of Episode 1 of 


Eyes on The Prize: America's Civil Rights Years


Widely regarded as the best documentary (and some would say the best film,
period) on the U.S. Civil Rights Movement

Watching and discussing episodes of this series is part of Prof. Gene
Burns's Honors option for MC 380 and MC 382, but all are welcome to join us
to learn about a part of history everyone should know.  The first episode is
about an hour long, and there will be discussion afterwards:  Those not in
the Honors option are welcome to join the discussion but are welcome simply
to listen, as well.
