Eyes on the Prize Viewing Party

Join us as we kick off Black History Month 2026 by commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott with a community viewing of Eyes on the Prize, Episode 1, the iconic documentary series on the Civil Rights Movement.

This episode helps us understand this historic boycott — and the students, workers, and community members— who came together to challenge injustice and ignite a movement that transformed the nation. The evening will include a screening of the episode followed by a facilitated reflection. We’ll discuss the courage, organizing, and resilience that defined the boycott and lessons that still resonate today. 

This event is open to all students, faculty, staff, and guests. Light refreshments will be served!

Part of a Spring programming initiative co-developed by the Center for Teaching Innovation and Inclusive Excellence’s Center for Equity, Education, and Belonging, this series of programs includes a Learning and Action Community (February–April) and will culminate in a panel/community conversation on civil resistance and the legacy of the boycott on April 9.
