In 1968, after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jane Elliott, a public school teacher in Riceville, Iowa, divided her all-white third-graders into blue-eyed and brown-eyed groups for a lesson in discrimination. On successive days, each group was treated as inferior and subjected to discrimination. A 1970 documentary, Eye of the storm, presented this experiment on television. This documentary reunites the teacher and students 15 years after the experiment to analyze its enduring effects.

Okay submitted by jaegerla on May 1, 2012, 12:02pm It was interesting enough, and I agree with the idea that everyone would benefit from an experience like this (if conducted by a psychologically stable professional).

fascinating experiment submitted by Jackie77 on August 28, 2015, 9:59pm Very interesting. Footage includes clips from the actual experiments conducted. The children seemed to like the experiment. The adults had a much more difficult time. One woman in particular was very rude to the speaker.
