Eyes on the Prize: America's Civil Rights Years, 1954-1965 Paperback - 1988

by Juan Williams

Arguably the most tumultuous time in recent American history, the Civil Rights years inspired the most rational and irrational of human behaviors and set the stage for sweeping reform in the nation's race relations. Juan Williams's moving chronicle of the movement stands as the definitive history of the era.


Summary

Eyes on the Prize traces the movement from the landmark Brown v. the Board of Education case in 1954 to the march on Selma and the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. This is a companion volume to the first part of the acclaimed PBS series.

From the publisher

"A Robert Lavelle book." "Originally published in the United States of America by Viking Penguin Inc., 1987"--T.p. verso. Includes bibliographical references (p. [296]-297) and index.

First line

Although Charles Houston carried a 16-mm movie camera with him wherever he went, no one would mistake him for a typical northern tourist visiting the South.
