Following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, Iowa schoolteacher Jane Elliott conducted a provocative classroom experiment to illustrate the arbitrary nature of prejudice. This volume documents the long-term impact of that exercise on her students, providing a longitudinal analysis of how early exposure to the mechanics of discrimination shapes adult perceptions of race and social hierarchy.
