• (Eyes on the Prize - America's Civil Rights Years series, Part 4) Explores a crucial phase in the civil rights movement--the emergence of mass demonstrations and marches as a powerful protest vehicle. In Albany, Georgia, police chief Laurie Pritchett challenged Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s tactics of nonviolent mass demonstration. In Birmingham, Alabama, school children marched for equal education and were sprayed with fire hoses and jailed. The triumphant 1963 march on Washington, D.C. captured worldwide attention and garnered broad national support, helping to shift federal policy.
