Jane Elliott Against the World: Film Screening & Community Conversation

A rural Iowa schoolteacher becomes a national voice against racism after leading a controversial 1968 lesson in discrimination with her all-white third-grade class. Now nearly ninety, she refuses to hold back amid today’s fights about race, history, and power after a lifetime of speaking out.

This short film and discussion are presented by the League of Women Voters of Lancaster County. Discussion panel members include Todd Mealy (educator and author of Shade of Brown, which inspired the documentary), Matt Johnson (a local Lancastrian), and others!

Doors open at 1:30pm, with the film promptly starting at 2pm.
