Papers of Kenneth Bancroft Clark 4 Scope and Content Note The papers of Kenneth Bancroft Clark (1914- ) span the years 1897-1994, with the bulk of the items concentrated in the period 1935-1990. The collection is sizable and covers the full range of Clark's career. The material is arranged broadly into family papers, professional papers, and records of the Metropolitan Applied Research Center (MARC), a research group headed by Clark and organized to advocate for the urban poor and disadvantaged, and a small group of records of a local New York City division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Included are correspondence, memoranda, subject files, speeches and writings, project files, transcripts of interviews and testimony, book drafts, minutes, reports, administrative records, financial records, printed matter, and secondary background material. The Clark Papers provide a comprehensive account of the numerous and significant contributions Clark made to the African- American community's struggle for equal civil rights and improved educational opportunities. As a social psychologist, Clark recognized racial segregation's effects on those who were discriminated against as well as on the morality of those who imposed segregation. Sometimes referred to as an “incorrigible integrationist,” Clark opposed all forms of racial discrimination in his writings, talks, and activities with a wide array of civil rights and community service organizations, antipoverty programs, educational institutions, social action groups, government agencies, and consultantships. The Family Papers are clustered chiefly in the 1930s and 1980s and include correspondence, school and university files, memorabilia, and sundry material relating primarily to immediate family members. Prominent in his correspondence file are numerous letters between Clark and Mamie Phipps Clark from the late 1930s. A separate file pertaining to Mamie Clark includes a small group of her academic and professional papers. A recognized psychologist in her own right, she cofounded with Clark in 1946 the Northside Center for Child Development and served as its director until her retirement in 1980. The School and University File includes a small assortment of their commingled memorabilia from Howard University. The Professional File in the collection reflects the breadth and depth of Clark's public career, except the period of his presidency of Metropolitan Applied Research Center, which is treated separately in the records pertaining to that organization. The General Correspondence and Subject files contained in the Professional File series document the first half of Clark's career from the late 1940s to the mid 1960s.

African American history has influenced virtually every facet of our country’s culture. While many are aware of prominent African American contributions to literature, sports, and the visual arts, many are less informed of other impor- tant contributions and innovations in fields like science and technology. African American literature is too valuable to be confined only to February, during Black History month. Librarians and educators should share African American literature with children and teens throughout the year with various lessons and discussions. Through a more constant exposure to African American history and experience, young people can begin to relate on a more personal level.

  • Creating Children's Books Symposium Friday, October 17
    Creating Children’s Books Symposium Friday, October 17, 2014 Keynote Address, by Leonard S. Marcus An Art in the Making: The American Picture Book Comes of Age It’s an honor and pleasure to be here at Penn--and here in the city of Philadelphia, with its long and illustrious history as a proving ground and home for children’s book authors and artists and their creations. Howard Pyle, who is so often called the “father of American illustration,” taught his craft from 1894 at the Drexel Institute, where his students included Frank Schoonover, Jessie Willcox Smith, Elizabeth Shippen Green, and Violet Oakley. A generation later, during the Great Depression, Bernard Waber grew up here, and while training to be a graphic designer at the Philadelphia School of Industrial Art went on sketching expeditions to the Philadelphia Zoo, where he learned to love--and draw— crocodiles like the one who became his best-known picture-book hero, Lyle. Norton Juster studied architecture at Penn in the late 1940s on his way to writing The Phantom Tollbooth, an uncategorizable classic that for more than half a century has served young people as a kind of blueprint for thinking freely and keeping faith with their own ideas. Jerry Pinkney was born, raised, and educated in this city, and has returned here often--last summer as the subject of Witness, a major retrospective of his work at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Three-time Caldecott Medal winner David Wiesner lives here now. As for collections, the Free Library of Philadelphia is home to picture book art by Beatrix Potter and Robert Lawson, illustrator of The Story of Ferdinand.
