The astute Jane Elliot talks about the after-effects of standard education and its connection to wholesale hatred for black people. She spoke about her famous blue-eyes-vs.-brown-eyes experiment to the show’s audience, separating the people on the basis of eye pigment and giving one group preferential treatment over the other. As a statement about the roots of racism, Elliott’s exercise was really powerful.

Jane Elliott is an outspoken anti-racism activist, feminist and LGBT activist, but if you ask her, she simply says, “I prefer to be called an educator.”
Jane Elliott is famous for creating the “blue-eye/brown-eye” exercise, which she developed the day after Martin Luther King’s assassination. That day back in 1968, she was going to teach her third-grade class about Native Americans and the Sioux prayer that goes “Oh Great Spirit, keep me from ever judging a man until I have walked a mile in his moccasins.” However, after she learned about King’s assassination she defied convention.
In this video I will be talking about Jane Elliott’s experiment with third grader in which she used the power of education to confront racial prejudices after Martin Luther King.’s assassination.
