“…He reminds the profession that psychology research has had a major impact on government policies and laws, changes in practice, and policies for physical and mental health as well as public opinion and societal stigma. Some of these research advocacy benchmarks, which Nadal highlighted, are Clark's research on children's reactions to dolls of diverse races leading to desegregation in schools (Lal, 2002), research that impacted marriage equality (Nadal, Mazzula, & Rivera, 2017), and the calling out of sexist perspectives of psychoanalysts by feminist scholars, leading to change within psychoanalysis and psychological treatment more generally (Horney, 1967).…”

Views on what is important in training for psychologists are evolving, reflecting a broadening understanding of the role psychologists can and should play in societal change. Since the development of the scientist-practitioner model after World War II, arguments around training have focused on the appropriate balance between training in the practice of psychology versus training in research related to psychology. Recent calls reflect more radical change to include an advocacy emphasis within the formal coursework of psychology doctoral programs, well articulated by Mallinckrodt, Miles, and Levy (2014) as the tripartite model of Scientist-Practitioner-Advocate. In this paper, we present the argument for expanding a model that incorporates advocacy training into clinical psychology internships and postdoctoral programs and describe why we believe voices for advocacy have been largely silent in public-sector clinical psychology training and practices. We outline how this may be accomplished in public sector training settings, and we articulate a call to action for public servants to speak out so their voice can ignite a passion for advocacy within public sector psychology service and training.

the only woman educator involved in Brown V. Board, realized it was time for early childhood educators, to clearly "sense the urgency…of blasphemy to Blacks" (Clark, 1983, p. 278). Her scholarship was instrumental in dismantling school segregation, particularly fostering young children's identity development. Mamie Clark found that young Black children were resigned to a badge of inferior racial status. She concluded that integration during children's early years for young Black and White children ultimately would ameliorate lasting effects of segregation (Clark & Clark, 1940;Karera, 2010). Her overshadowed scholarship and career converge exposing how segregation established deeply held racial awareness and color preference for young children.

“…Notably, their work began with their bachelor's and master's degrees from Howard University. Excellent overviews of Clarks's contribution to the field of psychology can be found in several journals (Benjamin & Crouse, 2002;Keppel, 2002;Lal, 2002;Phillips, 2000). Several members of the department's faculty became intricately involved in the work of the SRCD Black Caucus.…”

This chapter highlights the significant contributions of Howard University to the history and development of social science research on Black children from 1973 to 1997. These contributions were made by various Howard University professors, many of whom were members, affiliates, or supporters of the Black Caucus of the Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD), as well as Black Caucus SRCD members who were professors from other universities and professionals from research organizations affiliated with Howard University's undertakings. This chapter does not detail the full research career of Howard University faculty who were also SRCD members. Rather, it cites these members' work within various academic and research units at the University, as well as conferences that they collaboratively organized about Black child development.As coauthors of this chapter, we are both long-time Howard University faculty members in disciplines related to child development and education. Over the years, much of our work has had particular application to Black children's development. Velma LaPoint has been a member of the SRCD Black Caucus since the mid-1970s, and Veronica Thomas has held numerous key positions at Howard University that allow for intimate knowledge of the university's policies and programs that support social science scholarship related to Black children's development. As faculty members, we recognize the reciprocal influence of professional organizations, especially those that serve the needs of African American researchers and other professionals who work to promote Black children's development. These organizations contribute immensely to the development of the faculty and, of course, the faculty contribute to the development of the organizations and, ultimately, to the discipline. This reciprocal role is clearly illustrated in the history of the SRCD Black Caucus.
