Northside Center for Child Development project : oral history, 1990-1994.

The Northside Center for Child Development was founded in 1948 by Kenneth R. and Mamie Clark as a center for education and research. It became the base for a number of innovative educational programs and a model for many other such institutions. The Center staff and students also provided the research base for the major work of the Clarks on the effect of segregated education which provided the social scientific rationale for challenging doctrines of "Separate but Equal", most notable in the Supreme Court case outlawing segregated schools. Interviews in this series trace the development of the Center, the educational theories of the Clarks, especially Mamie Clark, the shifting emphases over time from psychology to social psychology, and the maturation of a consistent educational philosophy that has come to define the Center.
