The Clarks and Brown v. Board
Captions available
The idea
Kenneth Clark and Mamie Phipps Clark studied how segregation affected Black children, and their work informed the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision.
In practice
Psychological research on children, informing a nineteen fifty-four ruling on segregated schools.
Where people slip
Mamie Phipps Clark co-authored the research, so both names belong to it, not her husband's alone.
