Episode 76: From the Archives: Dr. Kenneth Clark on Racism and Child Well-being

The impact of racism and other forms of inequity on the emotional development of children has been heavily studied over the decades. In recognition of Black History Month, this episode of Into the Fold takes us back into The Human Condition radio show archives with a 1974 broadcast featuring the late African American psychologist Dr. Kenneth Clark, whose innovative research in child psychology—conducted alongside his wife, Mamie Phipps Clark—played a pivotal role in winning the legal battle against segregation in schools. Today, we spotlight his  groundbreaking scholarship as well as his advocacy for civil and human rights. About The Human Condition: From 1971 to 1983, former Hogg Foundation program officer Bert Kruger Smith hosted this radio show, engaging hundreds of notable guests in wide-ranging conversations on the things that make us human.
