On the morning of april 5, 1968, Steven Armstrong stepped into his third-grade classroom in Riceville, Iowa. "Hey, Mrs. Elliott," Steven yelled as he slung his books on his desk. "They shot that King yesterday. Why'd they shoot that King?" All 28 children found their desks, and Elliott said she had a special experiment for them to do, to begin to understand the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. the day before. Now, almost four decades later, Elliott's experiment still matters—to the grown children with whom she experimented, to the people of Riceville, population 840, who all but ran her out of town, and to thousands of people around the world who have also participated in an exercise based on the experiment.  What was this test? What happened to the students who were participants? And why did the surrounding community try to run Mrs Elliott out of town because of the experiment? Learn all this and more as we go over the notes and journals taken during the Eye color experiments today on BRAIN BITEZ. If you want to reach us with thoughts, concerns or just want to say hi.
