JANE ELLIOTT

Chosen as ABC-TV's Person of the Week and a guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Jane Elliott rose to fame as the creator of the Blue-Eye/Brown-Eye Exercise where participants are labeled superior or inferior by the color of their eyes. A former teacher from Iowa, Ms. Elliott began the exercise in a third grade classroom in an all white, all Christian school immediately after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This profound exercise has allowed many to experience the feeling of discrimination, the same way today's society discriminates against women, people of color, homosexuals and the disabled. Her works have been the subject of four documentaries and she has committed herself to the fight against prejudice, ignorance and racism in society.
