This first collection of black psychologist Dr. Kenneth B. Clark's
body of work over a half-century reveals his insight into the
fields of social science, education, politics, and the law. He
tells the inside story of the groundbreaking studies he made of
black public school children-showing they lacked self-esteem
because they were treated separately and differently than their
white counterparts. His social science papers were the basis for
the United States Supreme Court's landmark decision of May 17,
1954, that state-sponsored segregation in public schools violated
the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution. Dr. John Hope
Franklin, the nation's most prestigious black historian, provides a
Foreword. A number of prominent individuals in academics and
politics offer brief commentaries about Dr. Clark, including: Nobel
Prize-winner Gunnar Myrdal Dr. Cornel West Dr. Henry Louis Gates
Marian Wright Edelman Roger Wilkins Dr. Alvin Poussaint Dr. David
Lettering Lewis Dr. Gregory Williams Dr. Gary Orfield Vernon E.
Jordan Jr. There are also brief quotes about Dr. Clark by
Congressmen Charles Rangel and John Lewis, and former U.S. Attorney
General Nicholas deB. Katzenbach. In addition, the book contains
Dr. Clark's views of his contemporaries, including Dr. Martin
Luther King, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Presidents John F.
Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Jimmy Carter. This is
an essential collection from a key figure often overlooked in
studies of the Civil Rights Movement.
