"Morning Discussion" is of a group discussion of affirmative action which turns contentious on the subject of the Boston Teacher's Union. "Placing the Kennedy-Hawkins Bill in Context," attorney Ozell Hudson from the LawyersÂ’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law of the Boston Bar Association discusses a number of Supreme Court decisions which have racial consequences. This recording is part of a multi-day institute held for educators in Boston focused on teaching American civil rights history in the classroom. According to the welcome packet, one of the goals of the institute was to facilitate "building a network, and a movement, of people, who, through Eyes on the Prize, can look forthrightly, without getting demoralized, at the distance between America's promise of equality and the reality of the way the U.S. does business."
The original 3/4" Umatic videocassettes were digitized as part of a grant funded by the National Endowment for the Humanitities (NEH) focusing on material related to Eyes on the Prize II.
