We'll watch Episode 2 of *Eyes on the Prize*: _Fighting Back (1957-62)_, on the legal and street showdowns to desegregate the public schools. First though we'll hear from some LOCAL civil rights heroes and sheroes.

And we'll learn about ongoing civil rights work, including the VERY exciting NC NAACP-led People's Assembly known as H K on J (Historic Thousands on Jones St.), coming up on Feb 10th in Raleigh.

*Episode Information: Fighting Back (1957-1962)*

States' rights loyalists and federal authorities collide in the 1957 battle to integrate Little Rock's Central High School, and again in James Meredith's 1962 challenge to segregation at the University of Mississippi. Both times, a Southern governor squares off with a U.S. president, violence erupts -- and integration is carried out.
