From the Montgomery bus boycott to the Little Rock Nine to the Selma-Montgomery march, thousands of ordinary people participated in the American civil rights movement; their stories are told in Eyes on the Prize.

From leaders such as Martin Luther King, Jr., to lesser-known figures such as Barbara Rose Johns and Jim Zwerg, each man and woman made the decision that something had to be done to stop discrimination. These moving accounts of the first decade of the civil rights movement are a tribute to the people, black and white, who took part in the fight for justice and the struggle they endured.

Eyes on the Prize was a significant series which presented compellingly the civil rights struggle from the 1950s to the late Sixties. This presentation concludes in the mid sixties, but is a close rendition with several additional readings which enrich the story. It is an excellent companion to the series, bringing to life a watershed era in American/world history

This is quite a good book. It's very straightforward in its approach and while Juan Williams has a very particular perspective, he is honest and intelligent although he does avoid certain topics that he didn't doesn't want to include. Such as there are virtually no black militants in the Civil Rights Movement for according to Juan Williams.

Also the recording is plagued with technical errors, it skips very often, especially at the beginning of sentences and at the beginning of chapters.

It's a textbook.
