- Hello! My name is Kenneth B. Clark. I was born on July 14, 1914 and later died on May 1, 2005. I was a psychologist and a human rights activist.
- I was a professor at City College of New York. I also was first Black president of the American Psychological Association. We were known for our 1940s experiments using dolls to study children's attitudes about race.
- I was first African American ever to earn a doctorate in psychology from Columbia University. I then later was the first black professor in the City College of New York, where I taught for 30 years.
- In one of my studies, one of my major tools was a test that involved showing the children four dolls that were identical in every respect except skin color.
- I also helped to prepare for Briggs vs. Elliott, a case that alleged school inequality in Clarendon County, S.C., and one of several that led to the Supreme Court battle in 1954.
- My studies influenced the ban of segregation. These studies showed the damaging effects of racism on the self-image of black children. My work helped created an equal an fair space for students of all races.
