This Wednesday, May 4, at the Mennonite Meeting House

Eyes on the Prize: America’s Civil Rights Years, 1954-1964,

an award-winning documentary series on the Civil Rights movement;

7:00 p.m.

In this week’s episode, “No Easy Walk (1961-1963),” the civil rights movement

discovers the power of mass demonstrations as the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. emerges as its most visible leader.

Some demonstrations succeed; others fail.

But the triumphant March on Washington, D.C., under King's leadership,

shows mounting national support for civil rights.

President John F. Kennedy proposes the Civil

Rights Act.
