The Biography of Two Lovers, Activists, and Researchers Unfolding like a novel, this is the true story of two young Harlem psychologists who developed the famous doll test, the path-breaking experiment that played a key role in the landmark 1954 Supreme Court ruling against segregated school systems. For Kenneth and Mamie Phipps Clark, this was just the opening act in their struggle for justice and racial integration.
“What The Children Told Us” shows how the Clarks’ legendary doll test, court testimony and work with the NAACP paved the way to a life of activism in Harlem and on the national scene – all while raising two children.
