We need many more positive videos such as this one to be shown to Black children (and other children, youth, and adults). And we need to take other strong, proactive measures to help Children of Color recognize their physical beauty and know that beauty comes in all colors. Maybe then the next generation of Black children won't repeat the very sad results of this test:

"High school student Kiri Davis explores the self-image of black children in the US by repeating the historic "doll test" of Dr. Kenneth Clark that led to school desegregation. The experiment shows how many black children are trapped by low self-esteem. Community Tampa Bay works to eliminate prejudice, stereotypes and racism. We envision a world free from discrimination, in which every individual is treated with dignity and respect.Learn more about our work at www.communitytampabay.org."
I also love this song & this video. I happened upon it last year while surfing YouTube. The tune is soothing.and catchy (memorable). I love the words, and I love the images of all those beautiful African women. I particularly love seeing the traditional Nigerian clothing. When I was growing up in New Jersey in the 1950s, I didn't even know that Africans had traditional clothing. My concept of the African continent/African cultures was shaped by Tarzan movies. Thanks in large measure to the Internet, nowadays children, teens, and adults can debunk that false image of Africa. Even if we don't physically travel to an African country, we can "see" modern Africa with our own eyes via the Internet.
