Power! (1967-68)
- 1990 ----- color ----- 58 min ----- vhs
- (Eyes on the Prize II series, Part 3) Out of the ashes of the urban rebellions, Blacks look for new ways to take control of their communities; the ballot box, the street and the schools become the dominant platforms. Among the events profiled: Carl Stokes, in an historic victory, becomes the first Black mayor of Cleveland; in Oakland, young Blacks form the Black Panther Party, armed with guns, law books and free food, in an effort to quell continuing police harassment. Substandard teaching practices prompt parents to gain educational control of a Brooklyn school district but that leads them to a showdown with the New York City's Teachers' Union.
