SUMMARY:Author Talk: “What the Children Told Us” with Tim Spofford
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 7 @ 7pm \nAuthor Tim Spofford joins us to talk about his new book\, What the Children Told Us: The Untold Story of the Famous “Doll Test” and the Black Psychologists Who Changed the World. Spofford tells 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.
