- The Lafargue Mental Health Clinic, more commonly known as the Lafargue Clinic, was a mental health clinic that operated in Harlem, Manhattan, New York, from 1946 until 1958. The clinic was named for French Marxist physician Paul Lafargue and conceived by German-American psychiatrist Fredric Wertham, who recognized the dire state of mental health services for blacks in New York. With the backing of black intellectuals Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison, as well as members of the church and community, the clinic operated out of the parish house basement of St. Philip's Episcopal Church and was among the first to provide low-cost psychiatric health services to the poor, especially for poor blacks who either could not afford treatment at New York hospitals or were victimized by racism from doctors and other hospital staff. The staff consisted entirely of volunteers, and Wertham and Hilde Mosse were the clinic's lead doctors. Though the clinic only operated for 12 years, Wertham and Mosse's experiences from Lafargue were cited in a court decision to integrate schools in Wilmington, Delaware, and later in Brown v. Board of Education, which ruled that separate black and white schools were unconstitutional. Wertham would use case studies from his time at the clinic to support his later arguments that comic books caused juvenile delinquency, as evidenced in his 1954 work Seduction of the Innocent. (en)
- Klinik Kesehatan Mental Lafargue atau lebih dikenal dengan Klinik Lafargue merupakan klinik kesehatan mental yang berlokasi di Harlem, Manhattan, New York. Nama klinik ini diambil dari nama Paul Lafargue, seorang dokter asal Prancis, dan disetujui oleh psikiater Jerman-Amerika, yang saat itu menyadari buruknya layanan kesehatan mental bagi orang kulit hitam di New York. Klinik ini beroperasi dari tahun 1946 hingga 1958 di ruang bawah tanah Gereja Episkopal St. Philip berkat bantuan Richard Wright dan , serta komunitas dan anggota gereja. Para staf merupakan sukarelawan yang berada di bawah bimbingan langsung oleh dokter Wertham dan . Menurut sejarah, klinik ini menjadi klinik pertama yang menyediakan layanan kesehatan psikiatri dengan biaya rendah kepada orang miskin, terutama bagi orang kulit hitam yang tidak mampu membayar biaya rumah sakit di New York atau yang menjadi korban rasisme oleh dokter dan staf di rumah sakit lain. Meskipun klinik tersebut hanya beroperasi selama 12 tahun, pengalaman Wertham dan Mosse selama di Lafargue dikutip dalam keputusan pengadilan untuk mengintegrasikan sekolah-sekolah di Wilmington, Delaware, serta putusan Brown v. Board of Education, yang memutuskan bahwa pemisahan sekolah orang berkulit hitam dan putih mencermikna sikap yang tidak konstitusional. Wertham juga menggunakan studi kasus selama ia di Klinik Lafargue dalam tulisannya tahun 1954 berjudul Seduction of the Innocent, yang mengutarakan bahwa buku komik dapat menyebabkan kenakalan remaja.

- The Freudians talk about the Id
And bury it below.
But Richard Wright took off the lid
And let us see the woe. (en)
- One must descend to the basement and move along a confusing mazelike hall to reach it. Twice the passage seems to lead against a blank wall; then at last one enters the brightly lighted auditorium. And here, finally, are the social workers at the reception desks; and there, waiting upon the benches rowed beneath the pipes carrying warmth and water to the floors above, are the patients. One sees white-jacketed psychiatrists carrying charts appear and vanish behind screens that form the improvised interviewing cubicles. All is an atmosphere of hurried efficiency; and the concerned faces of the patients are brightened by the friendly smiles and low-pitched voices of the expert workers. One has entered the Lafargue Psychiatric Clinic. (en)

- "Segregation in schools legally decreed by statute, as in the State of Delaware, interferes with the healthy development of children. It doesn't necessarily cause an emotional disorder in every child. I compare that with the disease of tuberculosis. In New York thousands of people have the tubercle bacilli in their lungs—hundreds of thousands—and they don't get tuberculosis. But they do have the germ of illness in them at one time or another, and the fact that hundreds of them don't develop tuberculosis doesn't make me say, 'never mind the tubercle bacillus; it doesn't harm people, so let it go'".
