"African Meeting House Event." Larry Watson lectures on "Good News-Bad Times." Gospel music performance by Larry Watson & Ensemble and poetry readings by Jackie Warren-Moore. 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.
