"Afternoon Discussion" includes Leslie Harris leads discussion of a New York Times opinion piece by Julian Bond regarding White responses to the civil rights movement. Group reading of Peggy McIntosh's "White Privilege" essay. 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.
