-----

Story: 4/5 - Though it departs from its source material, it’s still an engaging exploration of the dangers of obsession and violence born from neglect.

Performances: 5/5 - Clive gives a career best performance as a man consumed by his pursuits, and Karloff invokes both fear and pity without a word.

Sets: 5/5 - Elaborate, diverse sets and locations. The lab is iconic.

Today I drew Mamie Phipps Clark. She was born on 18th October in 1917. In Hot Springs,Arkansas. She attended very racially segregated schools including a Catholic elementary school, Mamie described her elementary school and secondary school as deficient in substantive areas. Her extended family shaped her career satisfaction later in life. She graduated from Langston High school even though it was rare for a black student to do so, she received 2 offers and scholarships from black prestigious universities like Fisk university and Howard University, she enrolled in Howard University in 1934. And unfortunately Great Depression hit, her dad did send her money so she wouldn't struggle, she majored in math and minored in physics. At Howard she met her future husband Kenneth Clark who was a master's degree student in psychology and he urged her to pursue psychology because it would allow her to explore her interest in working with children (ever since she was kid she had interest in working with children) and they eloped during her senior year in 1937. And in 1938. She graduated magna cum laude (meaning with great honor) from Howard University and she immediately enrolled in Howard University's psychology graduate program. For her Master's thesis, she studied when black children became aware of themselves as having their distinct "self" and when they became aware of belonging to a particular racial group. She defined race consciousness as the perception of self belonging to a specific group, which is differentiated from othe groups by physical characteristics. Her conclusion about African American children became the foundation and the guiding premise for the famous doll studies to which her husband and she would be very well known for. Imagine this: African American children sit down and they have two dolls in front of them on the table, one doll was white and the other was black. And the questions were this:

'Which doll is white?'

'Which doll is black?'

'Which doll is ugly?'

'Which doll is pretty?'

'Which doll is bad?'

'Which doll is good?'

'Why is that doll ugly?'

'Why is that doll bad?'

And finally 'Which doll looks like you?'

And unfortunately African American children always chose the black doll for 'Which doll is ugly' and 'Which doll is bad' and their reasoning was 'because they're black' and they knew that they themselves were Black which is saddening to hear that a child would think that... that's how much the segregation affected the children of any color...and the parenting of white parents as well... kids look up to parents/legal guardians as a role model on how the society works and how they should act as an adult...and at that period of life, kids's brains are like a sponge that absorb the info about the world around them...

Mamie confessed that it was not until the end of her undergraduate years that she finally became confident about creating solutions for segregation and racial oppression. After she graduated she started working as a secretary in the law office of Charles Houston, who was a prominent lawyer and leading civil rights figure at a time when segregation cases were taken up by the national Association for the Advancement Colored People legal defense fund. There she witnessed the work of William Hastie, Thurgood Marshall and others in preparation for the court challenges that would lead to the landmark 1954 decision Brown v. Board of Education and this had an influence on her master's thesis 'The Development of Consciousness of Self in Black Pre-school Children' which would be responsible for the research and experiments which influenced Supreme Court Case, Brown v. Board of Education. She was the first black woman to earn her Ph.D. in experimental psychology, which she did in 1943. From Columbia University and she returned to student life, her dissertation advisor was Henry E. Garrett,later president of the American Psychological Association who was an open racist. Later in life she was asked to testify in the Prince Edward County, Virginia, desegregation case in order to rebut his testimony offered in that court in support of inherent racial differences. Unfortunately after her graduation she experienced a lot of frustration in her career because she was a Black woman in a field dominated by white males. One instrumental role was a job in 1945. Conducting psychological testing for homeless black girls for the Riverdale Home for Children. She created and carried out psychological tests as well as counseling homeless African Americans and other black children in New York City she stated 'I think Riverdale had profound effect on me, because I was never aware that there were that many children who were just turned out,you know, or whose parents had just left them,so to speak' and this made her desire to open the Northside Child Development center.. she also conducted many other studies and there was another test that was given to African American 3-5 year olds where they were given line drawings of black and white people along with the line drawings of different animals. In February 1946. She founded the Northside Testing and Consultation Center in the basement of the Paul Lawrence Dunbar apartments where her family had lived. In 1948 it became Northside Center for Child Development, it was the first center to provide therapy for children in Harlem, and providing support to families who were homeless. By developing the center,Mamie was able to draw so much attention to the psychology of children of color and form an understanding of the social and the psychological effects of racism. The center was providing 64 children with psychiatric care and 45 children with remedial schoolwork support. The center expanded its services to include psychological consultations for behavior problems, vocational guidance, education in child training for Black parents, and various psychological testing. It just continued to expand more. In 1962. She collaborated with her husband on a project called Harlem Youth Opportunities Unlimited project that provided corrective/remedial education for impoverished youth that were falling behind in school,provided job opportunities for Black Youth and taught residents how to work with government agencies to obtain funds and services, the project merged with Associated Community Teams but it was short lived because of political conflict. In 1979. Clark retired as a director of Northside. She received Candace Award for Humanitarianism from the national Coalition of 100 Black women in 1983. Her work was an important contribution to the field of developmental psychology and psychology of race. She even worked for the United States Armed Forces Institute and the Public Health Association. She died of cancer on August 11th in 1983.

I hope she rests in peace knowing she made a very huge contribution to the branches of psychology

She was preceded in death by her father, Al Black.

Amy married Michael Wasnich on May 20, 2011, in Auburn. Amy was the stepmother to his children, Jacob Wasnich of Largo, Florida, and Joshua Wasnich, of Toledo, Ohio. Amy and Mike were living in Largo, Florida, at the time of her death.

William Martin Gulager (/ˈɡuːləɡər/; November 16, 1928 – August 5, 2022), better known as Clu Gulager.  Television and film actor and director born in Holdenville, Oklahoma. He first became known for his work in television, appearing in the co-starring role of William H. Bonney (Billy the Kid) in the 1960–1962 NBC television series The Tall Man and as Emmett Ryker in another NBC Western series, The Virginian.

In 1958 he appeared as Roy Carter in the episode "The Return of Roy Carter" (written by Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek) in the Western television series Have Gun – Will Travel starring Richard Boone.

Gulager stated, "Lew Wasserman saw me on a Playhouse 90 episode where I played an Elvis Presley-type character. I became the first contract player at Universal". In the spring of 1959, he signed with MCA-TV, where he appeared as Tommy Pavlock in the episode "The Immigrant" of NBC's series The Lawless Years, a 1920s crime drama. In the fall of 1959, he appeared in the episode "The Temple of the Swinging Doll" of NBC's short-lived espionage drama Five Fingers, starring David Hedison.

On June 3, 1959, he guest-starred as the unscrupulous photographer Elliott Garrison in "The Andrew Hale Story" on NBC's Wagon Train. On October 11, 1959, Gulager appeared as a U.S. Navy sailor in the "Appointment at Eleven" episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and again as an escaped convict in "Pen Pal" on November 1, 1960. On The Untouchables, he played the role of real-life vicious mob killer Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll. Gulager was hailed for his utterly chilling performance as the psychopathic Coll. Late in 1959, he was cast as Beau Chandler in the episode "Jessie Quinn" of the NBC Western series Riverboat, starring Darren McGavin and Burt Reynolds. The episode is a tale of intrigue involving the Texas Revolution. Capt. Holden attempts to send weapons to Sam Houston, but forces of Antonio López de Santa Anna in Mexico threaten to blow up Holden's vessel, the Enterprise.

From 1960 to 1962, Gulager played Billy the Kid in The Tall Man, opposite Barry Sullivan as Sheriff Pat Garrett. The episodes portray Billy as a sympathetic character without resorting to the "misunderstood young man" theme used in such films as The Outlaw (1943) and The Left Handed Gun (1958). In 1961, Gulager guest-starred in another NBC Western, Whispering Smith, Audie Murphy's only attempt at series television. Gulager portrayed Deputy Sheriff Emmett Ryker from 1964 to 1968 on The Virginian, the 90-minute Western series in which he starred with James Drury, Doug McClure, Lee J. Cobb, Roberta Shore, Randy Boone, Gary Clarke, and Diane Roter. Gulager appeared more than 60 times in other roles in film and television, including the film Winning (1969) and the CBS series Three for the Road. He also appeared several times on NBC's Bonanza.  (Wikipedia)
