Every person, living anywhere, of any class or ethnic background, should watch Eyes on the Prize. It's certainly not perfect, but it brings together the details of history and the texture of the experience. For us pop-culture lovers, that the essential glue is popular music isn't surprising. (Getting rights to all the music is what held up its re-release for decades).
If you're a White USian born after 1965, the series will probably blow your mind, because this stuff has not been taught in our primary schools!
