Jane Elliot, who best known for her exercises and documentaries titled, "Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes," will speak at Washburn from 6 to 8 p.m. April 30, in Washburn Room, Memorial Union.
Elliot is an internationally known teacher, lecturer, and diversity trainer. She is the recipient of the National Mental Health Association Award for Excellence in Education.
Elliot exposes prejudice and bigotry. Elliot devised the controversial, "Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes," in response to the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Her famous exercise labels participants as inferior or superior based solely upon the color of their eyes and exposes them to the experience of being a minority.
Admission is free for Washburn students with a valid WU ID and may be picked up in the Campus Activity Board office. Admission for the general public is $10 and tickets are available at the YWCA.
