Interviewee: Dr. Kenneth B. Clark
Interviewer: Ed Edwin
New York City
Date: March 19, 1976

Q:

Dr. Clark, in the first interviews, we have you up to your tenure at City College, New York, but without any great detail about your teaching experience there, and how you began to become more active in the civil rights, the equal rights movement. We can cover those as two segments. And then of course, the conception of HARYOU-Act, and your relationship with the Harlem political leaders.

Dr. Clark:

Q:

Dr. Clark:
