DESCRIPTION:New College Cinema, Week of January 21st\nSPECIAL SHOWING FOR\nMARTIN 
 LUTHER KING, JR. 
 DAY\n\n------------------------------------------------\nMonday, January 
 21st, 8:00 pm:\n - MARTIN LUTHER KING, A COMMEMORATIVE COLLECTION\n - EYES 
 ON THE PRIZE: NO EASY 
 WALK\n------------------------------------------------\n\nMARTIN LUTHER 
 KING A COMMEMORATIVE COLLECTION\nThis absorbing video is footage of Martin 
 Luther King Jr., and a\nwell-rounded picture of the civil-rights movement, 
 beginning with a\nconversation with Coretta Scott King, Dr. King's wife, 
 describing how her\nhusband's mission has guided how she lives her life 
 today. Throughout the\nvideo are more conversations with Coretta and other 
 friends and colleagues\nof Dr. King including Jesse Jackson, Dick Gregory, 
 Edward Kennedy, Bill\nCosby, Andrew Young, Joan Baez, former President 
 Jimmy Carter, and\nArchbishop Desmond Tutu.  The raw footage of the 1963 
 March on Washington is\nglorious and striking for Dr. King's "Free at Last" 
 speech and the shots of\n200,000 people standing beneath the Lincoln 
 Memorial. There are also several\nof Dr. King's most memorable addresses in 
 their entirety such as the\nMontgomery Bus Boycott, Civil Disobedience and 
 Nonviolent Struggle, the\nMarch on Washington, and his final address in 
 Memphis. Overall The\nCommemorative Collection is a great teacher about the 
 civil-rights era in\nhistory, and is also a wonderful compilation of Dr. 
 King's addresses.\n\nEYES ON THE PRIZE: NO EASY WALK\nIn the 1950s and 
 1960s, America fought a second revolution to secure\n"inalienable rights" 
 and equal treatment under the law -- a second\nrevolution to make "liberty 
 and justice for all" a reality for black\nAmericans as well as white. The 
 fight was waged by blacks and whites in the\nstreets and the churches, the 
 courts and the schools of the American South.\nIt was a struggle for racial 
 integration and equal rights that changed the\nfabric of American life, a 
 struggle whose reverberations continue to be\nfelt.\nEyes on the Prize 
 chronicles the civil rights years through the individual\nstories of people 
 compelled by a meeting of conscience and circumstance to\nplay a role in 
 history. These are the stories of blacks and whites, of civil\nrights 
 organizers from the South and the North, of government officials at\nall 
 levels, of Southerners who fought to maintain a way of life they 
 had\ncherished since Reconstruction and of blacks who were determined to 
 make\nAmerica live up to its promise of equality. Some played their parts 
 and\nfaded back into obscurity; others became household names in the 
 America of\nthe time and permanent figures on the pages of history.\n"No 
 Easy Walk, 1961-1963," the fourth program in the six part 
 series,\ndocuments the years when the movement embraced a new strategy: the 
 mass\ndemonstration, which was tried out in Albany, Georgia, and 
 Birmingham,\nAlabama. The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., emerges as the most 
 articulate\nand charismatic proponent of nonviolence as he leads the March 
 on\nWashington, DC, revealing broad national support for the civil 
 rights\nmovement.\n\nNew College Cultural Center, 766 Valencia
