In their so-called doll test, pioneering Black psychologists Kenneth and Mamie Clark investigated the effects of segregation by presenting children with two Black and two white baby dolls. \"Show me the doll that you like best,\" they said. \"Show me the doll that looks like you.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir research showed that segregation harmed Black children. When the \u003cem\u003eBrown v. Board of Education\u003c\/em\u003e case came along to challenge school segregation, Kenneth Clark testified about the doll test. His testimony was compelling, and in 1954, the US Supreme court ultimately declared school segregation illegal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNarrated by dolls, this book-length poem by acclaimed author Carole Boston Weatherford introduces Kenneth and Mamie Clark and their powerful research to young readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carole Boston Weatherford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carolrhoda Books (R)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.23h x 9.53w x 0.36d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781728477930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/19\/2024 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2024 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2024 pg. 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2024 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWeatherford, Carole Boston:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eCarole Boston Weatherford\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of numerous award-winning books and the winner of the 2025 Children's Literature Legacy Award.
