Their workwhich showed how racial inequality negatively affected the self-esteem of young childrenhelped change the course of American history. The Clarks groundbreaking research, including the black-white doll studies, were critical to the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court decision, which legally ended the segregation of public schools. Their findings were the first-ever social science research to be submitted as hard evidence in the Courts history.Our founders believed in tapping into the inherent strengths of children and families to help them overcome obstacles. This philosophy continues to be the bedrock of our work today. Our goal is to instill, and in many cases, rebuild self-esteem in the children that we serve.Northside Center's MissionNorthside Center provides children and families the support they need to overcome adversity and thrive. Our high quality outcome-driven behavioral, mental health and education services propel struggling children forward... away from the ill-effects of poverty and racism; toward a future limited only by the scope of their dreams.
