Established in 2017, this annual award recognizes the extraordinary contributions of a senior scholar in the area of race and justice. This Distinguished Lecture Award is in honor of psychologists and Columbia graduates Mamie Phipps Clark and Kenneth B. Clark. Findings from their pioneering experiments were instrumental in the Supreme Court case (Brown vs Board of Education) that determined de jure racial segregation in public education was unconstitutional.
