The Film & Media Archive is a nationally recognized center for scholarship, teaching, and learning. The Archive is committed to the preservation of documentary film and other media which chronicles America's great political and social movements with a particular emphasis on the African-American experience.
The collections of prominent filmmakers Henry Hampton (Eyes on the Prize) and William Miles (I Remember Harlem) include hundreds of hours of high quality programming and features a comprehensive and diverse array of primary interviews, photos, archival footage, and written documents that they gathered during the film production process. The value of these collections is inestimable, as is the potential for using them to help teachers, students, and scholars develop a better appreciation and understanding of the course of civil and social justice issues in the United States.
