"I know the one thing we did right, was the day we started to fight! Keep your eyes on the prize!" [View all]

If you have never seen the documentary, "Eye On The Prize" you should. It is a 6 part series about the civil rights movement in the US. It is powerful, heartbreaking, heartwarming and accurate.

What is so very sad, besides the obvious, is how so much is still true today. In watching we see how far backward we have gone after making some strides forward.

Our country is pushing us all into a type of slavery. They are starting with the same groups they pushed down before. People of color, women and the poor.

This is episode 1
