The Doll Test
Dr. Kenneth Clark and his wife, Dr. Mamie Clark, were black psychologists who conducted a famous series of experiments in the 1940s that included something called the doll test. In the doll test, they showed young black children for baby dolls. Two of the dolls had white skin with yellow hair and two had brown skin with black hair. 59% of the children said that the black dolls looked, quote, bad.
