The award-winning, critically acclaimed documentary shares what Hampton called “the remarkable human drama that was the Civil Rights Movement” through the experiences and challenges of those fighting for justice. The film tells the story of decades of human rights struggles from the point of view of the ordinary men and women whose extraordinary actions helped to change the fabric of American life and who embodied a struggle that reverberates today. Featuring contemporary interviews and rare historical footage, the film traces the Movement from the Montgomery bus boycott in 1954 through the March on Washington in 1963 (right) and on to the Voting Rights Act in 1965; from early acts of individual courage through the flowering of a mass movement and its eventual split into factions. The late Julian Bond, political leader and civil rights activist, narrates. An eight-hour second series, Eyes on the Prize, Series 2, covering the years 1965 to 1985, airs in July. Eyes on the Prize won numerous awards including six Emmy Awards, two Peabody Awards and the duPont-Columbia Gold Baton Award. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. This special presentation of Eyes on the Prize is made possible with the generous support of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and by PBS viewers. GETTY IMAGES; MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. MARTIN LUTHER GETTY IMAGES; Reconstruction: America After the Civil War WETA co-production airs Mon-Tues, June 14-15 at 8 p.m. on WETA PBS WETA reprises Harvard professor and WETA production partner Henry Louis Gates, Jr.’s acclaimed 2019 documentary series Reconstruction: America After the Civil War, a WETA co-production. The award-winning film, airing in two parts, explores the transformative years following the American Civil War, when the nation struggled to rebuild itself in the face of profound loss, massive destruction and revolutionary social change. Gates examines how the Reconstruction era (1865-1877) witnessed a seismic shift in American democracy, with millions of formerly enslaved and free Black people seeking out their rightful place as equal citizens under the law, and why this bold experiment in democracy was tragically short-lived. The legacy of that hopeful era and its rollback has reverberated in race relations in American society since.

  • The Imagined West
    CHAPTER 21 The Imagined West FOR more than a century the American West has been the most strongly imagined section of the United States. The West of Anglo American pioneers and Indians began reimagining itself before the conquest of the area was fully complete. In the late nineteenth century, Sitting Bull and Indians who would later fight at Wounded Knee toured Europe and the United States with Buffalo Bill in his Wild West shows. They etched vivid images of Indian fights and buffalo hunts into the imaginations of hundreds of thousands of people. The ceremonials of the Pueblos became tourist attractions even while the Bureau of Indian Affairs and missionaries struggled to abolish them. Stories about the West evolved into a particular genre, the Western, which first as novels and later as films became a defining element of American popular culture. By 1958, Westerns comprised about 11 percent of all works of fiction pubHshed in the United States, and Hollywood turned out a Western movie every week. In 1959 thirty prime-time television shows, induding eight of the ten most watched, were Westerns. Mid-twentieth-century Americans consumed such enormous quantities of imagined adventures set in the West that one might suspect the decline of the Western in the 1970s and 1980s resulted from nothing more than a severe case of cultural indigestion. This gluttonous consumption of fictions about the West is, however, only part of the story. Americans have also actively imagined their own Wests. A century of American children grew up imagining themselves to be cowboys and Indians.
