The clip on Ocean Hill-Brownsville that we were scheduled to watch today is available on youtube. (I was having trouble downloading the file.)

This is from the documentary series, Eyes on the Prize II. The OH-B section begins at around the 36 minute mark; it lasts approximately 18 minutes. It’s worth watching the whole episode if you have the chance. In fact, all of the episodes of Eyes on the Prize (which covers the non-violent civil rights protests of the 50s through the mid-60s in the South), and Eyes on the Prize II (which covers more turbulent later years nationwide) offer an illuminating glimpse into the history of the civil rights movement.
