Eyes on the Prize is a landmark PBS documentary series about the American civil rights movement, directed by Henry Hampton.
A clip from Eyes on the Prize showing Southern segregationists defending racial segregation by appeal to community tradition and social convention is used in the lecture to demonstrate the fatal flaw of Walzer-style communitarian justice — that defining justice by shared community meanings endorses whatever a community happens to believe, including deeply unjust practices.
