A Class Divided by the color of their eyes

Path-breaking experiment in racism
• Posted on
Filmed 15 years after Eye of the Storm, this sequel explores what the children in Jane Elliott's daring classroom exercise learned about discrimination and how it still affects them today. Ms. Elliott meets with some of her former students to analyze the exercise in prejudice and its impact on their lives.

Jane Elliott is an internationally known educator, inspiring American teacher and anti-racism activist. She created the famous "blue-eyed/brown-eyed" exercise, first done with grade school children in the 1960s, and which later became the basis for her career in diversity training.
