About the producer…Henry Hampton, the creator and executive producer of the series is recognized as one of the world’s most acclaimed documentary filmmakers. Hampton set out to share his vision of what he called “the remarkable human drama that was the civil rights movement” through the Eyes on the Prize documentary and a book of the same title by Juan Williams.

From 1968 though 1998, Henry Hampton was executive producer or responsible for more than 60 major films and media projects. He founded Blackside Inc. in 1968 and served as its president until his death in 1998. In addition to numerous other prestigious awards, honorary degrees, and fellowships, the National Endowment for the Humanities awarded him the Charles Frankel Prize in 1990 for outstanding contributions to humanities.

“We were, for all practical purposes, engaged in a revolution…. It was

still the civil rights revolution. Those persons during the 1960s laid down

their lives and died to put us into these positions of power.”

– Emma Darnell, an official in former Atlanta mayor Maynard Jackson’s administration.
