The Doll Study was an important psychological experiment conducted in the 1930s by Kenneth and Mamie Clark. The experiment was designed to measure the self-esteem of African-American children in relation to their racial identity. The experiment found that, when asked, most of the children preferred white dolls over black dolls and associated positive attributes with the white doll. The results of the Doll Study were instrumental in the 1954 Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education, which outlawed racial segregation in public schools.
