Today, we recognize Psychologist Mamie Phipps Clark, a pioneer in child development and racial equity. Her groundbreaking research, which shaped Brown v. Board of Education, revealed the profound impact of racism and segregation on children's self-perception and well-being.
At Positive Childhood Alliance NC, we know that how children see themselves—and how they are treated by the world around them—shapes their development and well-being. Mamie Phipps Clark’s work reminds us that nurturing, supportive environments are critical for every child to thrive. Ensuring that all children feel valued, seen, and supported strengthens their resilience and long-term well-being – leading to a more hopeful future for us all.
Today, we continue this work by advocating for strong family supports, positive relationships, and equitable systems that strengthen all families and helps children reach their full potential.
