Northside was founded by pioneering psychologists Drs. Kenneth B. and Mamie Clark. Their work—which showed how racial inequality negatively affected the self-esteem of young children—helped change the course of American history.
The Clarks’ groundbreaking research The Black/White Dolls Test, was the first-ever social science research to be submitted as hard evidence in the Supreme Court’s history and was critical to the ruling in the landmark “Brown v. Board of Education” (1954) decision, which legally ended segregation in public schools.
Our Founders believed in tapping into the inherent strengths of children and families to help them overcome obstacles and thrive. This philosophy continues to be the bedrock of our work today. Our goal is to foster and cultivate self-esteem in the children we serve.
Northside 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.
Hilde L. Mosse M.D. was a colleague of Drs. Kenneth and Mamie Phipps Clark. Northside Center continues to honor her memory and connection to The Clarks through her nephew and Northside Board member Roger Strauch. Our Executive Director’s full title now bears her name … The Hilde L. Mosse President & CEO. Roger further honors his aunt on his website.
