Abstract
Memorializes William H. Tucker (1940-2022). Tucker made invaluable contributions to understanding the history of scientific racism. Bill joined the psychology faculty at Rutgers University-Camden where he remained until retirement. In The Science and Politics of Racial Research (1994), he surveyed the history of race science from the late 19th century to the 1980s, documenting the persistent lack of scientific value in the search for innate racial differences, and the continuing use of racial comparisons for oppression, especially in support of segregation. Material from this book was instrumental in convincing the American Psychological Foundation to reconsider the Life Achievement Award for Raymond B. Cattell in 1997. Bill followed with two other books, The Funding of Scientific Racism (2002) and The Cattell Controversy: Race, Science, and Ideology (2009).
