Kenneth Clark, 90, helped end school segregation
Monday, May 02, 2005
From wire reports
Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y.- Kenneth Clark, the psychologist and educator whose 1950 report showing the deleterious effect of school segregation influenced the U.S. Supreme Court to hold school segregation to be unconstitutional, died Sunday. He was 90.

Clark was a leader in the civil rights movement that developed after World War II. He was the first black to earn a doctorate in psychology from Columbia University, the first to become a tenured instructor in the city college system of New York and, in 1966, the first black elected to the New York state Board of Regents.

Another great man who played his part in trying to repair some of the injustice of American culture and law.
