Drawing on videotaped interviews from victims of hate
speech and other sources, Ball State University students have
created a web site they hope will curb the use of such epithets.
The site, Learning from a Legacy of Hate, traces the history
of bigotry across the state of Indiana, but its lessons can
be applied nationwide as educators struggle to combat the
persistence of hate and ignorance in schools. "Our objective
is to open people's minds and hearts to the experiences of
others," say the site's 15 student developers. "Our
goal is to provoke thought and encourage change by challenging
people to make a difference in the fight against intolerance."
The interactive web site includes reviews of offensive lyrics
and scenes in music and movies, as well as exercises for classroom
teachers and interviews with victims. Its designers hope the
site will be used by librarians, public officials, religious
leaders, and civic organizations, as well as schools, to educate
youth about the dangers of personal prejudice. "The voices
we don't hear from, the voices that we could be learning from,
are the targets of hate speech," said Ball State associate
professor Beth Messner, who coordinated the project. "Those
are the voices we really need to hear from.
