An African-American psychologist, Dr. Kenneth B. Clark was an early civil rights leader who used social science to combat racial segregation. Dr. Clark received national recognition after his research was used by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and Chief Justice Earl Warren in the Brown v. Board of Education case to argue that racial segregation in public schools was harmful to African-American children. Dr. Clark’s research used white and black dolls to study how young African-American children perceived their race. Dr. Clark’s work concluded that a majority of African-American children felt racially inferior. The data from the tests showed that a majority of the black children tested favoured the white dolls. Dr. Clark and his wife saw the data as “indicative of the dehumanizing effects of racism.” Earl Warren, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, accepted Dr. Clark’s contention, writing in the Court’s opinion that racial separation was “implying inferiority in civil society.” For black children, Chief Justice Warren continued, this “feeling of inferiority...may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone.” Warren directly cited Dr. Clark’s work in his opinion. Clark was the author of numerous books, including: Dark Ghetto(1965); A Relevant War Against Poverty (1969); A Possible Reality (1972); and Pathos of Power (1974). Dr. Clark died in 2005.

George Wallace was born on August 25, 1919 in Clio, Alabama. He received a law degree in 1942 and then enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps and flew combat missions in World War II. He was medically discharged from the army after a near fatal attack of spinal meningitis. In 1945, he became the Assistant Attorney General of Alabama and in the following year he was elected to the Alabama Legislature. In 1953 he became a judge in the circuit courts of Alabama. He was defeated in 1958 in the race for governor by John Patterson. Wallace had the support of the NAACP. His opponent won with support from the Ku Klux Klan. His defeat was partly responsible for his decision to become a strict segregationist. In 1962 he was elected governor on a pro-segregation platform. As Governor of Alabama, George Wallace attempted to stop the desegregation of the University of Alabama. On June 11, 1963 he stood in front of Foster Auditorium in order to prevent two black students from enrolling. However, Wallace eventually had to stand aside when ordered by federal marshals, the Alabama National Guard, and by Deputy Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach. Wallace stood by his segregationist politics through most of his time as governor. Wallace’s wife Lurleen Wallace won the 1966 gubernatorial election (state law forbade her husband from serving consecutive terms). In 1970 George Wallace was again elected governor of Alabama. Wallace also ran for president in 1964, 1968, 1972, and 1976. In his later years he recanted his segregationist views and apologized for his actions. Wallace died on September 13, 1998 in Montgomery, Alabama.

Wife of Oliver Brown and mother of Linda Brown, Leola Montgomery found herself in the middle of the Brown vs. Board of Education court case in 1950. In that year, her husband Oliver Brown was one of several plaintiffs in that famous court case that made segregation illegal. Oliver Brown was suing so that his daughter Linda Brown could attend an all-white school that was close to the Brown’s home in Topeka, Kansas.

Linda Carol Brown was in third grade when her father Oliver Brown brought forth his landmark class-action suit in 1951. The suit is now famously known as the Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. Oliver Brown was suing partly because eight-year old Linda had to cross railroad tracks to take a bus twenty-one blocks to an all-black school instead of attending a white school that was five blocks from her home. The U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in this case declared that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional.
