But, my research paper needs tohave at least 15 journal references and I can not seem to find on the web sites of various journals the full text of Kenneth B Clarks articles can nayone give me advice on how to locate this information through journals?

You will find two of Kenneth & Mamie Clark's research papers on the _Classics in the History of Psychology_ website at: http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Clark/Self-cons/ http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Clark/Skin-color/

To find references to further work by them try using PsycInfo (ask your local librarian if you don't know about this). Also, you will find a boatload of recent books and journal articles about psychology and the Brown decision in the wake of the 50th anniversary. The last APA convention was full of session on the Brown decision. Two authors I would recommend in particular are John P. Jackson of U. Colorado and Wade Pickren, the APA historian & archivist.

Also, its a good idea to use the reference section of articles you have already found. I too am doing a research paper on both the Clarks.
