TV's most-watched history series brings to life the compelling stories from our past that inform our understanding of the world today.

Eyes on the Prize 是 PBS 一系列关于美国民权运动的纪录片，直到现在都是民权运动重要的教材
由于纪录片中包含各式各样的新闻片段、照片、歌曲和歌词，在著作权法的规范下，纪录片的使用受到了各种复杂而多样的限制
1995 年，制片公司 Blackside 所取得的授权年限截止，并因财力问题无力负担 renew 授权的费用，自此这些记录片便无法再向公众播送或发行
先前针对这个情况，一位重要的民权运动者 Lawrence Guyot 对华盛顿邮报表示，这就像是阻止大家流通有关马丁路德金恩、麦尔坎 X、美国建国基础的书籍，我号召所有能取得这个片子的人公开地违反所有跟这部片子播放有关的法令。
Downhill Battle 这个组织认为这些community screening 并不是 civil disobedience ，而是在著作权法下合理使用的范围，尤其是非但如此，公众便无法观赏到这部具有重要历史意义的影片。而民权运动的历史的重要性，更是不容这部纪录片成为著作权法的禁脔。
Downhill Battle 于是举办Eyes On the Screen 的活动，号召大家在 2/8 这一天在各地自家学校或任何地方举办大小型 screening，播放 Eyes on the Prize

Rosenwald, by Aviva Kempner, is a documentary about how Chicago philanthropist Julius Rosenwald, the son of an immigrant peddler who rose to head Sears, partnered with Booker T. Washington to build 5,400 Southern schools in African American communities in the early 1900s during the Jim Crow era. Rosenwald also built YMCAs and housing for African Americans to address the pressing needs of the Great Migration. The Rosenwald Fund supported great artists like Marian Anderson, Woody Guthrie, Langston Hughes, Gordon Parks, and Jacob Lawrence. Among those interviewed are civil rights leaders Julian Bond, Ben Jealous and Congressman John Lewis, columnists Eugene Robinson and Clarence Page, Cokie Roberts, Rabbi David Saperstein, Rosenwald school alumni writer Maya Angelou and director George C. Wolfe and Rosenwald relatives.
