This year's show "The dolls of color in the world." The Black doll show was inspired by a doll test conducted by Mamie and Kenneth Clark. The tests concluded that because of social stigma, many black children preferred white dolls over black dolls.
Inspired by the test of the doll, legendary artist / curator Cecil Fergerson Black Doll show started in 1982. All dolls are specially loaned for the exhibition.
