Jane Elliott has been teaching her "Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes" groundbreaking anti-racist group social exercise for over thirty-six years, working to make people permanently more empathetic and sensitive to the problem of racism. Starting the exercise in her third-grade classroom in all-white, all-Christian Riceville, Iowa, immediately after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., this exercise has provided dramatic results for both children and adults throughout the country. Elliott’s work has also been the subject of several television documentaries, written up in many psychology and social studies texts, and a book, A Class Divided, Then and Now. Elliott is a recipient of the National Mental Health Association Award for Excellence in Education. She has been a guest lecturer at numerous colleges, universities, and corporations, and has appeared on a plethora of television shows, including 60 Minutes, Oprah, and Today.

Martin is also the creator and host of The Roland Martin Show, as well as senior analyst for the Tom Joyner Morning Show. Honored with the 2013 National Association of Black Journalists' (NABJ) Journalist of the Year Award, Martin is a two-time winner of the NAACP Image Award and has received more than 40 professional media awards. Spending six years as a CNN Contributor, and as a member of the network's "Best Political Team on Television,” he was granted the Peabody Award in 2009.
