About Jane elliot:

Jane Elliott is a gifted educator and author of A Collar in My Pocket whose lesson in discrimination is featured in the documentary film, The Eye of the Storm. In response to the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, Jane Elliott devised the controversial and startling, Blue-Eyes/Brown- Eyes Exercise in Discrimination. This, now famous, exercise labels participants as inferior or superior based solely upon the color of their eyes and exposes them to the experience of being a minority. Everyone who is exposed to Jane Elliott’s work, be it through a lecture, workshop, or video is dramatically impacted and learns a valuable lesson in discrimination.
