Eye color idea instead of moccasins for shoes[edit] On the evening of April 4, 1968, Elliott turned on her television and learned of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination.
She says she vividly remembers a scene in which a white reporter with the microphone pointed it toward a local black leader and asked, "When our leader (John F. Kennedy) was killed several years ago, his widow held us together. Who's going to control your people? " Shocked that a reporter could feel that Kennedy was a "white people's leader", she then decided to combine a lesson she had planned about Native Americans with a lesson she had planned about Dr.

What have you seen or learned after conducting your exercise in various parts of the world? I've learned that discrimination and its effects are the same no matter where you find them. I get the same results with the exercise in Berlin or in the Netherlands that I do in the U.S. or Australia or Curacao. And what's even more distressing is the fact that I've gotten the same results using the exercise with adults in Scotland and Australia in the year 2002 that I got using the exercise with children in Riceville, Iowa, in 1968. A number of years ago we did the exercise in Berlin in a building not far from the still-raw remnants of the Berlin wall. There was a woman from East Germany in the brown-eyed group who insisted that we not do the exercise.
She said we could appeal to her reason but not to her emotions. What was the exercise's relevance for Germans who participated? And you have also taught the exercise in Australia and given talks about it. Yes. Right. Oh, my, no. Why? Yes. Why? Yes. Brown eyes and blue eyes Racism experiment (Children Session) - Jane Elliott.
