Summary

Eyes on the Prize traces the movement from the landmark Brown v. the Board of Education case in 1954 to the march on Selma and the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. This is a companion volume to the first part of the acclaimed PBS series.

From the publisher

"A Robert Lavelle book." "Originally published in the United States of America by Viking Penguin Inc., 1987"--T.p. verso. Includes bibliographical references (p. [296]-297) and index.

First line
