Description

How does an elementary school classroom exercise conducted by a teacher more than 50 years ago continue to impact, teach and remain socially relevant today?For that, you’ll need to listen to our guest, Jane Elliott.The educator and social activist famously conducted the ‘blue eye-brown eye’ exercise with her classroom in 1968, to teach the young students the foolishness and sad reality of discrimination and racism in America.Elliott went on to conduct the social experiment in other classrooms, with college students, at The White House and broadcasted shows like ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show.’ Despite the backlash, Elliott sought to prove the absurdity of discrimination and push for us to break walls of division.She talks to me about her childhood, the struggles she and her family faced and why she believes in only the ‘human race.’Be prepared for an unabashed, blunt, honest and transparent conversation. I learned from a trailblazer who was ahead of her time and yet still holds on to that youthful spirit.Learn and listen to the full conversation!Learn more about Jane Elliott here.-- Love the podcast?
