Much of our discussion around “The Help” has centered around idea that it is difficult, perhaps even impossible to have historical accuracy in a an hour and a half. In response, I would like to offer this link to Episode 5 of “Eyes on the Prize”, a 14 part series. Episode 5 is specific to events in Mississippi in the early 1960s. You can watch it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgSitIXiP5Y.

The series itself is a remarkable document of the Civil Rights era, http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/eyesontheprize/about/index.html and all of it is available on Youtube.

I would encourage all of you to watch the episode and the series.
