Producing Eyes on the Prize was more than a labor of love. For Executive Producer Henry Hampton, it was an ambition he harbored for more than half his life, one that led him to sacrifice money, opportunity, and his own material welfare to realize.

From July 22 to August 22, 1985, they participated in what Hampton called "civil rights school," sharing their knowledge and experience of the movement with the Eyes I crew. "It was like going to grad schoo...
