The Eyes on the Prize Civil Rights Reader: Documents, Speeches, and Firsthand Accounts from the Black Freedom Struggle Review: First Hand Documents Bring You There - When you get involved in studying political events and movements, ultimately there is going to be some disagreement on interpretations. While the Civil Righs Movement has suffered less revisionist history than many events of the last century, it is still valuable to go to the source documents and read about events in the words of those who participated in history or who made history. I agree that this book works well in tandem with another more narrative history, such as Eyes on the Prize, or Partin the Waters. But the compilers have done an excellent job of grouping by topics, with clear introductions putting the pieces that follow into proper place. I was surprised - I feared that this would be more dry of a read than it was. Instead I found myself pulled along, especially by some riveting first hand accounts of events such as the Attica riots. Another big plus for the book is that it brings the documents and the struggles into the 1980's, when first published. Many books ont he Civil Rights Movement cover until 1965, or 1968, this one keeps events in the 1970's and 80's relevant to what came before. I highly recommend this for anyone who is looking to feel as if they were there for these struggles, and understand our history. Review: This is a great book. All the key points in the Civil ... - This is a great book. All the key points in the Civil Rights Movements, in easy to understand chronological and historical format. Great for teachers and students alike. Commands attention, and enlightens discussions. I would highly recommend it to all. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #235,424 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #214 in Civil Rights & Liberties (Books) #606 in Discrimination & Racism #733 in African American Demographic Studies (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (185) | | Dimensions | 8.36 x 5.54 x 1.41 inches | | Edition | 4th | | Grade level | 12 and up | | ISBN-10 | 0140154035 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0140154030 | | Item Weight | 1.56 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Eyes on the Prize | | Print length | 784 pages | | Publication date | November 1, 1991 | | Publisher | Penguin Books | | Reading age | 18 years and up | ## Images ![The Eyes on the Prize Civil Rights Reader: Documents, Speeches, and Firsthand Accounts from the Black Freedom Struggle - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91EThig2raL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First Hand Documents Bring You There *by J***K on June 30, 2004* When you get involved in studying political events and movements, ultimately there is going to be some disagreement on interpretations.

This should be read as a supplement to the Eyes on the Prize documentary series. It contains fourteen chapters that go with the fourteen episodes. Each chapter contains a wealth of writings that complement each episode. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/10608992-the-eyes-on-the-prize-civil-rights-reader-documents-speeches](https://www.desertcart.es/products/10608992-the-eyes-on-the-prize-civil-rights-reader-documents-speeches) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
