Raimondo Borea's Photo of Kenneth B. Clark Licensed to THE BLINDING OF ISAAC WOODARD on PBS

Psychologist and Educator Kenneth B. Clark

Premiering March 30th, the PBS special series THE BLINDING OF ISAAC WOODARD presents the story of the horrific beating of a Black army sergeant during WWII that ultimately set the stage for the Supreme Court’s landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, which finally outlawed segregation in public schools and jump-started the modern civil rights movement. Pictured above, Dr. Kenneth B. Clark was an important expert witness in Briggs v. Elliott (1952), one of five cases combined into Brown v. Board of Education (1954).
