- Maatschappij en cultuur
For the first episode of this series on Racism in America, Jane Elliott, a world renown human rights educator, drops some solid knowledge about what it’s been like fighting for equality since the Civil Rights era up until now. She believes racism is very easily learned, adapted into our belief systems, and ingrained in our legal systems, which is something she’s proven time and time again with her “Brown Eyes, Blue Eyes” exercise. Her work has given her opportunities to appear on national shows like Oprah and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, teach diversity training for multiple branches of the military and various Fortune 500 companies, and directly impact hundreds of thousands of lives. Check out her most recent book, “A Collar in My Pocket”, to learn more about her story and work!
