brown eyes, blue eyes experiment
I first learned about Jane Elliot and her brown eyes, blue eyes experiment in the '90s in the midst of my early childhood education studies. Since I've "evolved" in the Youtube world, I've rewatched it many times. I can't help think (& pray) that if more people saw this amazing woman teach kids and adults in a matter of days what mankind has had trouble with for ages, our lives would be more fulfilled than any material goods could accomplish.

Edmund Pettis bridge should surely be renamed
the John Lewis Bridge.
Pettus was regarded as a hero in his native state and adopted hometown of Selma, a lawyer and statesman who served as a U.S. senator. But he was also a decorated Confederate general and a leader in the Alabama Ku Klux Klan.
“The bridge was named for him, in part, to memorialize his history, of restraining and imprisoning African-Americans in their quest for freedom after the Civil War,” says University of Alabama history professor John Giggie. |
Edmund Pettis was the epitome of why we needed John Lewis so badly.
It is fitting that the love and forgiveness that John Lewis embodied, should forever be noted to have overcome the hatred Edmund Pettis propagated in Alabama after the civil war. |
