From 1971 to 1983, former Hogg Foundation program officer Bert Kruger Smith hosted The Human Condition, a radio show that, across a span of 400 episodes, engaged a variety of notable guests in wide-ranging conversations on the things that make us human.
In recognition of Black History Month, this episode of our Into the Fold podcast takes us back into The Human Condition’s archives with a 1974 broadcast featuring the late African American psychologist Dr. Kenneth Clark, whose innovative research in child psychology—conducted alongside his wife, Mamie Phipps Clark—played a pivotal role in winning the legal battle against segregation in schools.
Although Dr. Clark’s dialogue with Kruger Smith dates back 45 years, the revelations and insights it contains are by no means irrelevant to modern-day conversations about race, discrimination and health equity at the community and systems level and in everyday life. In fact, its takeaway messages are more central to the Hogg Foundation’s mission than ever.
