Eyes on the Prize
For those of you who have not seen this documentary, you should really check it out. It teaches about some of the sadder points in African American history that some textbooks fail to mention. One story that really appauled me in the film was about an African American man in Florida. He was a marine and he was bruttaly murdered by the police at a traffic stop. There are many other heart wrenching stories presented in this film. Films like these are beneficial for presenting information in a way others might not have thought about it. Racism still exists in our country and more educational tools like this should be used.

The first half-hour of the first episode we watched, focusing on Boston bussing in the 70s, was particularly eye-opening. We don't have to look down south for messed up stuff. Nor do we have to look to the past--plenty going down in the here and now.
