Eyes on the Prize Two Societies: 1965-1968
Northern cities served as the backdrop for confrontations on a scale the civil rights movement had never seen before the mid-1960s. Scarred by widespread discrimination, black inner-city neighborhoods became sites of crumbling houses, poverty, and street violence. Although the black-led movement for social change and equality in the North had a long history, it had not received the same media attention the struggle in the South had. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0894045/?ref_=ttep_ep2 Dates are transmission dates in the USA
