Excellent Documentary of the Civil Rights Movement
|
| "Eyes on the Prize" is an excellent contemporary history of the civil rights movement from 1954 to 1965, and is "must viewing" for anyone who wishes to gain a proper understanding of that difficult time in our history. Although it is presented from the perspective of the civil rights movement, it is reasonably fair and balanced, as many of the antagonists from that era are interviewed and are permitted to explain the positions they took then and to offer their subsequent reflections on the controversy. The only shortcoming, in my view, is that the federal judiciary is let off far too lightly for its role in designing and maintaining racial segregation in the United States. Starting with Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, and continuing for nearly 60 years until 1954, there is an unbroken line of United States Supreme Court cases that uphold the doctrine of "separate but equal" upon which racial segregation was based. |
