Jane Elliott Mary-Frances Winters
Description

Known for her groundbreaking “Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes” exercise conducted the day after Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination in 1968, world-renowned diversity educator Jane Elliott continues to do the work of standing up against hate and ignorance with her trademark passion more than 50 years later. Born during Adolf Hitler’s rise to power, Elliott has lived to see history repeat itself and will share her hard-won perspective and insights in an energizing Day 1 fireside chat moderated by Mary-Frances Winters, Founder and CEO of The Winters Group, Inc. Join in for an engaging and provocative discussion on how lessons of the past can inform how we take action, from ensuring that we continue to self-educate to reframing how we understand race and other concepts that divide us so that we can respond from a place of wisdom and empathy.
