Angry Eye

Angry Eye trainng workshop with DVD features Jane Elliott, once again conducting her now famous experiment of dividing a class into groups of blue eyes and brown eyes.  This time she conducts the experiment with college students and the results and reactions are even more shocking.  This is a true eye opener into the embedded prejudices living within us. This exercise demonstrates that racism is a learned response and that education and awareness are the solutions to discrimination.

Jane Elliott was a third grade teacher in Riceville, Iowa when she developed the Blue Eyed/ Brown Eyed exercise to teach the effects of racism.  She began this work in response to the assassination of Dr. Rev Martin Luther King, Jr.  Featured in television documentaries and training videos, Ms. Elliott has since repeated the exercise with dramatic results in many different settings.
