Jane Elliott's brown eyes, blue eyes exercise is discrimination still packs a punch after all these years.
I recently came across this post in the Los Angeles Times written by a journalist who first saw Jane Elliott's exercise in discrimination as a 16-year old Korean adoptee of white parents, Jane's exercise had a transformative and lasting effect on her life.

And Ms. Elliott has refocused her mission to include recent events such as the election of the first black president. How does that fit into her message?
