How does it feel to be a minority? How does it feel to be restricted and limited based on arbitrary factors?
In reaction to the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. nearly thirty years ago, Jane Elliott formulated the controversial and shocking, "Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes" exercise. This, now renowned, exercise labels participants as inferior or superior based exclusively upon the color of their eyes and exposes them to the experience of being constrained as a minority. Everyone who is exposed to Jane Elliott's work, through a lecture, workshop, or video, is dramatically affected by it.
