Host a screening of Eyes on the Prize on Feb 8!

The Downhill Battle people are going great guns on their Eyes on the Screen action, where they're calling on people to download copies of the seminal civil rights documentary Eyes on the Prize and hold screenings of it.

But they do more screeners -- people to host screening parties, even small-scale ones. Nicholas from Downhill Battle sez, "we want to emphasize that people can just have them in their living room if they want and don't need to post the address publicly (just a contact email is fine)."

On February 8th, during Black History Month, screenings of Eyes on the Prize, Part I: Awakenings 1954-1956 will be taking place across the country. Together, we'll bring this film back to a mass audience, but in a self-organized, grassroots way. If you don't see a screening in your city, please do everything you can to help organize one in your home or at a community center, library, or other space. If you can only host a screening on a different day, you can post that also, but we're hoping to connect people with the February 8th date as much as possible.
