In this seminar-style course, facilitated by Dr. Arthur Jones, participants will view and discuss together the entire PBS documentary film series “Eyes on the Prize, Part 1: America’s Civil Rights Years,” widely considered to be a masterful documentation of critical events in the Black-led freedom movement of the 1950s and 60s. Enrollees also will be required to read written reflections on the Movement by the late Dr. Vincent Harding, a renowned historian and speech writer for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in his book, Hope and History: Why We Must Share the Story of the Movement. The course will meet on Tuesdays from 1:00 to 3:00 pm, for seven weeks, beginning March 31, 2026 and ending on May 19, 2026. Restricted to registered members of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Denver (OLLI@du).
