Freshman Seminar Group Projects

Our group focused on advances in the field of psychology and what scholars have done to further advance this field. Our power point focused on Mamie and Kenneth Clark who were Howard graduates who worked in child racial psychology. They studied the effect society had on black children and their thoughts of which race was prettier, better, uglier, etc.. They opened a counseling center over 65 years ago in Harlem, NY  in order to help the youth of the neighborhood overcome challenges and have a safe haven. This center is still in existence today along with many of the changes they made to help support Brown vs. Board of Education. The effort these two people alone made in the field of psychology is amazing and I really enjoyed learning about them during this project.
