A Class Divided

"This is one of the most requested programs in FRONTLINE's history. It is about an Iowa schoolteacher who, the day after Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered in 1968, gave her third-grade students a first-hand experience in the meaning of discrimination. This is the story of what she taught the children, and the impact that lesson had on their lives."

I just watched this PBS program and thought it was thought-provoking and poignant... sad and fascinating. Worth watching all of it. How adults react to the experiment in Part IV is something to see.

Click here to see the entire transcript of the program. Part I starts with Charlie Cobb's first comment.
