🎉 Today we are celebrating Josephine Baker! 💃🏾

This historical shoutout comes from Beckett Graham from The History Chicks. Out of the dozens of women that they have covered, Josephine Baker is Beckett's favorite.

"Her story really blindsided me, I was very surprised by a lot of it that I didn’t know because I just knew her on the surface."

You may know Josephine Baker for her banana skirt dance performances, but what also surprised us was that Baker was the first black woman to start in a major motion picture, she was a French Resistance spy during WWWII, and she adopted children from around the world creating a rainbow family. Not to mention, she reinvented herself numerous times. 🤩

So much more to this incredible woman!

To learn more about Josephine Baker, we recommend that you check out The History Chick's coverage of her. There's so much about Baker's history they cover her life over two episodes, episode 34 and 35. 🎧

If you want to find out The History Chick's other favorite episodes, you can find their recommendations in Issue 2 of Toastee Mag!

✨ Today we are saluting psychologist and civil rights activist Dr. Mamie Phipps Clark! 🎉

She is a pioneering psychologist who is best known for the doll study she conducted with her husband that was used in the Brown vs Board of Education court case. ⚖️

Dr. Clark and her husband were the first African Americans to obtain doctoral degrees in psychology from Columbia University. In 1946, they opened the Northside Center for Child Development, the first full-time child guidance center offering psychological and casework services to families in the Harlem area.

Much of Dr. Mamie Clark's work focused on the self-consciousness of black children in Arkansas. Her famous doll study originated from her Master's Thesis, "The Development of Consciousness of Self in Negro Pre-School Children."

Her research showed the effects of segregation on children's attitudes towards race and racial self-identification. Children who attended segregated schools tended to choose white dolls over black dolls.
