 Nigerian writer and filmmaker, Onyeka Nwelue, who is currently a Research Fellow at Centre for International Studies at Ohio University visited anti-racism activist, Jane Elliott in her home in SunCity, California yesterday and shared pictures on his Facebook.

Nwelue's fourth book is titled, Bridges & Barricades: Why Africans Will Remain Slaves. It will be released this year.

She is known for her "Blue eyes–Brown eyes" exercise. She first conducted her famous exercise for her class the day after Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot. She was on Oprah Show to dissect the experiment which has sparked heated debate since Donald Trump won.

    This applies to sexism and homophobia. You can not make others suffer for biological differences, things that they have no control over, just because you're in a majority.
