I remember when she became famous for that. We also watched a documentary about it in Anthropology classes, ethics classes and psych classes when I was in college. I'm glad to see she's well and still teaching that lesson.

There was an Oprah show from '92 (shortly after the Rodney King verdicts) which is REALLY impactful too.

Thank you for posting....
