4.0

As a music education major, I read excerpts of Jane's work in college. I hadn't read the entire book or seen any of the films of the exercise until now, when my partner's mom sent me this book to help me learn more about racism in America. This book was really interesting to me as both an education on discriminatory behavior and a study in innovative education methods. I also found it super interesting to hear Elliot discuss her experiences doing this exercise in small town Iowa. It sounds so similar to the small town in which I was born. This was definitely worth the read, especially because Elliot writes with personality and has some really bold opinions!
