As we continue our look into black innovators of mental health, let me introduce Dr. Mamie Clark!
She was the main reason that Brown V. Board of education was upheld. Because of her “dolly” study. It showed that black children disproportionately saw themselves as uglier or lesser than white children because of the color of their skin.
Because of Dr. Clark the movement to desegregate school was upheld and the freedom the black communities deserved was upheld in the highest court of the land.
