While there are variations of the story, the exercise Elliott developed for her third grade class in Riceville, Iowa was a result of Martin Luther King's assassination. According to one biographer, on the evening of April 4, 1968, Jane Elliott turned on her television to find out about the assassination. One scene she says that she remembers vividly is that of a (white) reporter, with the microphone pointed toward a local black leader asking "When our leader (John F. Kennedy) was killed several years ago, his widow held us together. Who's going to control your people?" It was supposedly there, in her living room, that she decided to combine a lesson she had planned about Native Americans with the lesson done about King for February's Hero of the Month. To tie the two, she would use the saying "Oh Great Spirit, keep me from ever judging a man until I have walked a mile in his moccasins."
