Abstract
About this title: In this startling expose, ABC News Prime Time Live anchor, Diane Sawyer explores skin color prejudice in America with the help of two friends virtually identical in all respects but one-- John is white, Glen is black. Together they take part in a series of hidden camera experiments exploring people's reactions to each in a variety of situations.
Acting within the scenario of moving to a new town, Prime Time Live, undercover, follows John and Glen separately as they each try to rent an apartment, respond to job listings, purchase a car, and conduct everyday activities such as shopping. The responses in both the white and racially mixed communities are shocking and consistent. In every instance, John is welcomed into the community while Glen is discouraged by high prices, long waits, and unfriendly salespeople. Diane Sawyer concludes True Colors with a discussion with John and Glen about the outcome of these experiments and their experiences with discrimination in daily life.
About the series: The ABCs of Discrimination is a series of hard-hitting ABC News exposés that explore all types of discrimination – on the street, at home, in the workplace, on the phone, in the courtroom – and are excellent discussion starters.
