In 1940, Dr. Kenneth Clark and his wife Mamie worked in schoolrooms, asking more than 250 Black children whether they preferred white or brown baby dolls. The ensuing psychology study became what is now known as the "doll test"—the experiment which revealed that two-thirds of the children preferred a white doll to a doll of their own race. Word of the doll test brought the Clarks and their insights to New York's City Hall, the White House, and the U.S. Supreme Court, where they ended up playing an historic role in the Brown v. Board of Education ruling. "What the Children Told Us" is author Tim Spofford's in-depth new biography of these pioneering Black psychologists, whose work still resonates today. Join us to meet the author on Tuesday, August 23rd, via Crowdcast!
