What the Children Told Us
Author: Tim SpoffordPublisher: Sourcebooks, Inc.
ISBN: 1728248086
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Does racial discrimination harm Black children's sense of self? The Doll Test illuminated its devastating toll. Dr. Kenneth Clark visited rundown and under-resourced segregated schools across America, presenting Black children with two dolls: a white one with hair painted yellow and a brown one with hair painted black. "Give me the doll you like to play with," he said. "Give me the doll that is a nice doll." The psychological experiment Kenneth developed with his wife, Mamie, designed to measure how segregation affected Black children's perception of themselves and other Black people, was enlightening—and horrifying. Over and over again, the young children—some not yet five years old—selected the white doll as preferable, and the brown doll as "bad." Some children even denied their race. "Yes," said brown-skinned Joan W., age six, when questioned about her affection for the light-skinned doll. "I would like to be white." What the Children Told Us is the story of the towering intellectual and emotional partnership between two Black scholars who highlighted the psychological effects of racial segregation. The Clarks' story is one of courage, love, and an unfailing belief that Black children deserved better than what society was prepared to give them, and their unrelenting activism played a critical role in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case. The Clarks' decades of impassioned advocacy, their inspiring marriage, and their enduring work shines a light on the power of passion in an unjust world.

Book Description
If nature hates violence, why is the land so parched for blood? If civilizations are to ensure safety and equality, why did slaves build them? If wars are bad, why do walls breed rebels? The long history of humankind owes a lot of its stories to great people that lived, rebelled, and shook civilizations for what they were, and our world today worships them for the Gods they were. People of great valour kept our lives safe, great artists became our medium of preserving time, and mere mortals moved mountains with bare hands and clans built cities with just blunt rocks. They, are our Gods today. One such tale of a God, a God that stands at the epicenter of the linguistic, cultural, religious and creative waves of the long-living Thamizh folk. The God-Men Clan is the story of a mere mortal, if you will. It is the story of the God of War, if I may.
