Eyes of the Prize (left), the landmark six-hour documentary about the ivil rights movement, returns in three installments this month on PBS. The Oscar-nominated film, and essential for teachers and historians since its 1987 release, has been unavailableon TV or video, due to copyright issues, for 13 years.
I found this article while I was reading through Oprah’s October Issue of “O Magazine”. The show it mentions (“Eyes on the Prize”) is the same show that was up against heated debate over censoring of a certain word. I wrote an post on that censorship a while back if you care to read.
Glad to see Oprah supports PBS.

I like how you brought in clips from other things. Do you know if PBS does any other type of fundraising other than telethons? That would be an interesting PR case study or campaign…
