I find it terrible that people had to risk their life’s fighting for freedom and equal rights because of the fact that they had different skin colour than others.

I found it interesting that the coloured people wouldn’t have a chance to be found innocent in a court, and would automatically be found guilty.

Through watching the "eyes on the prize" documentary, I saw how much passion and aggression was brought out through the mistreatment of the coloured people in Jackson, Mississippi. People were willing to risk beating, arrests and even their lives in the hopes to one day make a change. The images and video clips of real events from back then were very powerful in the sense that they showed the reality of what happened to people back then which is such a drastic contrast to society today.

I found it really shocking that literally everything in Mississippi was segregated such as schools, bathrooms, bus seats and even cemeteries. Also found it shocking that because coloured people couldn't register to vote they couldn't be members of a jury.

They risked their lives to fight for what they believed in. To register to vote in Mississippi, regulations were set. You needed to correctly answer several near-impossible questions to be able to vote.

This was so that they wouldn’t be able to vote and therefore no change would be made to the state.

Very educational and disappointed that humans had to fight for their right to be included in important events that impact their lives.

# data[].attributes.body
I was shocked that black people were denied so many of the basic rights that white people had including a good education and it was shown to be odd for many white people to show any respect e.g. odd for white people to shake a black person's hand. It was also shocking how difficult they made it to change that and many people risked their lives and freedom to make a change.

Registering to vote meant an individual would fill in a question sheet, some of the registers couldn’t read or write.  This was made to ensure specific people couldn’t vote

# data[].attributes.body
I found that coloured people were arrested and copped beatings just to stand up for what they believe in. Also found it disturbing that the set tests for registering to vote evidently so the coloured people couldn't vote - another way they cannot stand up for their own rights and beliefs

I learnt that the Citizen's Council was made in 1954 for the fight over civil rights in order to oppose the large numbers of black people and to maintain white power, around this time blacks outnumbered whites 4-1

The people of colour risked beatings, arrests and their lives in order to gain the representation they had been denied for so long . They had to live in fear of being killed because they lived in such a racist community.

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt how difficult it was to register to vote in Mississippi. In some counties, blacks outnumbered whites four to one, yet almost none of them were registered to vote. They had to remember parts of the amendment and may have been asked to recite any parts of it at random.

Some protesters were willing to go to jail countless times to make a stance

# data[].attributes.body
I find it disturbing that people had to risk their lives just so others could be given basic human rights.

# data[].attributes.body
I admire the bravery and sacrifice that many displayed in order to be given basic human rights. Those people who protested and stood up against the laws were resilient and courageous even though they knew change would not occur immediately. Their actions progressively changed the stereotypic image of 'coloured people', which eventually bought about equality.

There was a comment at the end of the documentary, “They lost faith in their leaders but realized their own power” that really resonated with me, because it proved that once they had united and worked together – they could put pressure on those oppressing them. Whilst it is known that many lost their lives fighting for their own rights, seeing the brutality, murder and unapologetic racism towards the minority was shocking – but it was even scarier when I made the connection that this is happening in present day America.
