 Following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Jane Elliott, a third grade teacher in an all-white, all-Christian small town, wanted to teach her class what it feels like to be discriminated against based on a physical characteristic over which one has no control. She divided her students into two groups: those with brown eyes, and those with blue eyes. DAY ONE: She tells the class the “truth” about brown eyed people: that they’re lazy, stupid, dirty … all of the stereotypes Americans hold about people of color. In a matter of minutes, blue eyed students begin to get the gleam of power in their eyes. Brown eyed students sink in their chairs, and their test scores decline. DAY TWO: Elliott introduces a twist. She tells the class that she made a mistake; blue eyed people are the inferior ones. The cycle begins again. Once both groups of students have been on the receiving end of discrimination, Elliott brings them together to talk about how they felt and help them draw connections between their feelings that day and racism in the outside world. This award-winning documentary is enhanced by a comprehensive Facilitator’s Guide applicable to all ages. Running time: 25 minutes

 Race Discrimination Audio Conference and CD - Credits: This program has been approved for 1.5 recertification credit hours toward PHR and SPHR recertification through the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI). For more information about certification or recertification, please visit the HRCI homepage at www.hrci.org. The use of this seal is not an endorsement by HRCI of the quality of the program. It means that this program has met HRCI’s criteria to be pre-approved for recertification. Description: Race discrimination is the #1 type of claim filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) - more than a third of the agency’s entire caseload in recent years. And, the stakes for employers keep getting higher. EEOC broke records in 2008 with the dollar amounts of its race discrimination settlements with employers. In 2009, the experts say, you’ll face even greater risks from race-related claims and lawsuits. Recent surveys show that 3 in 10 Americans have admitted feelings of racial prejudice, and they’re bringing those feelings into your workplace. The souring economy may encourage even more disgruntled workers to file claims seeking financial settlements. Plus, employment lawyers have recently identified new types of race bias claims that trip up even savvy employers - from lawsuits that combine racial and gender discrimination allegations to accusations that you didn’t hire certain workers due to the content of their video resumes. Join us for this important audio conference on February 20, as our expert speakers explain the do's and don’ts of recognizing and preventing race bias in your workplace. They’ll discuss not only the legal issues and risks involved in race discrimination claims, but also the practical ways you can train your supervisors and your frontline workers to stamp out these problems before they mushroom into lawsuits. You’ll also have the chance to submit the race bias questions that have been troubling you directly to our experts – anonymously, if you wish.
