Description
"Using 'Voices of Freedom' Discussion" and "How School Systems are Approaching Eyes I & II: the North Carolina Story." Includes group discussion led by Judy Richardson, a group reading of quotes from participants of the desegregation of Little Rock High School, small group discussions followed by a reporting back to the assembled group. Ends with a presentation by conference attendee Joseph Webb on History education in his native North Carolina. 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.
