Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

From Eyes on the Prize, the (victorious) end of the Montgomery bus boycott.

By the way, why isn't Eyes on the Prize available on DVD? Amazon shows one used set for $350.

Hi! Thanks for friending me. How did you find me, anyway?

Hi! I've been following the recent discussion of race, writing, reading, etc and I liked what you had to say.

Well, thanks for friending me and I'm glad you liked what I said.

Wow, that sucks. This series should be required viewing in school. I hope they fix this situation...sigh.

PBS is rebroadcasting this month, and per Wikipedia:

"PBS reissued an educational version of the series in the fall of 2006, making it available on DVD for the first time.[5] It is now available to educational institutions and libraries from PBS on seven DVDs (ISBN 0-7936-9262-8) or seven VHS tapes. These versions are not licensed for individual consumer sales.[6] It is unclear whether any of the footage has been changed to appease rights holders."

I need to figure out how to hack the TiVo, since 14 hours is a bit much to keep on my poor old TiVo.
