murder trial of a former police officer amber guyger. joshua brown was a key witness in the trial, a neighborhood of botham jean and guyger. police heard several gunshots and a silver sedan speeding out of the parking lot. they say he was ambushed. they say brown worked directly across the hall of jean. one of the controversial moments in this trial was a couple of hugs. one between the judge and guyger and jean s brother and guyger. you also saw the bailiff fixing her hair and it reminded me of the black doll test that we heard about many, many years ago. clark. yes. i thought about that. but on this sunday morning, as we get ready to go to church,
lupita s journey growing up. choking up on air, my personal revelation led to an outpouring of online messages. so many others sharing that dark shame. it led me to wonder in 2014, with the prominence of women like michelle obama and beyonce, surely color and beauty must no longer be an issue. with the help of sociologist and a group of five to eight year olds we took a new snapshot of the famous 1939 doll test. black kids presented with two dolls overwhelmingly preferred the white one. which do you think is the most beautiful? reporter: at first we re encouraged to see this girl choose a doll that looks like her. why is this doll more beautiful than the other two dolls? because it looks most like me. reporter: her confidence shining through. but then watch. we are stunned again and again. the girls choose the white doll. this is the most beautiful
i personally understand lupita s journey growing up. choking up on air, my personal revelation led to an outpouring of online messages. so many others sharing that dark shame. it led me to wonder in 2014, with the prominence of women like michelle obama and beyonce, surely color and beauty must no longer be an issue. with the help of a sociologist and a group of five to eight year olds we took a new snapshot of the famous 1939 doll test. black kids presented with two dolls overwhelmingly preferred the white one. which do you think is the most beautiful? reporter: at first we re encouraged to see this girl choose a doll that looks like her. why is this doll more beautiful than the other two dolls? because it looks most like me. reporter: her confidence shining through. but then watch. we are stunned again and again. the girls choose the white doll. this is the most beautiful
schools were entirely black. and it is interesting, jackie, because i started this by talking about the brown case, and particularly the part that was the kenneth clark dahl studies and the supreme court saying we have to integrate, and if we don t, we will end up with african-american children having a negative sense of themselves and black children picking white dolls, and we saw these studies replicated in a little film of girls like me and we saw a replication of that. i want to look at that for a moment, and then come back. dr. kenneth clark conducted a doll test with black children. he asked them to choose between the black doll and the white doll, and in the majority of the instances the children preferred the white doll. i decided to reconduct the test as dr. clark did and find out how we have progressed since then. can you show me the doll that you like best and that you would like to play with? this one. this one. i like that one.
