Acknowledging a Legacy of Anti‐Black Pseudoscience: A review of Even the Rat Was White

Abstract

respectively. We are working through the historic files as I submit this reflection. By lifting up the stories of lesser-known psychologist trailblazers, like Drs. Claytor and Satterwhite, I hope that we complement Guthrie's work to tell a more complete history of psychology, connecting its past, present, and future. And I hope that their stories demonstrate to current and future generations of BIPOC women and girls and their peers that, as we reckon with our injurious past, psychology has been used and continues to be used to benefit society and improve people's lives and that they are inspired. If we do not tell our own stories, someone else will. I encourage you to think about your own legacies now and start digitizing your papers, photos, awards. Someone 50 years from now will be reviewing your work and want to know more about you, your context, your history. Be the one who narrates your own story. There is no one better suited to tell it.
