wikipedia:
"Jane Elliott (born 1933, Riceville, Iowa) [1] is an American teacher and anti-racism activist. With no formal training in psychology, she created the famous “blue-eyed/brown-eyed” exercise, first done with grade school children in the 1960s, and which later became the basis for her career in "diversity training.""

to get an idea here's a PBS/Frontline link that features first-hand footage of her experimenting with 3rd graders. i'd recommend chapters 4 and 5 where she is doing it with employees of a prison: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/divided/
