Garrett wrote a 1961 article in the journal "Perspectives in Biology and Medicine" entitled "The Equalitarian Dogma" in which he argued that cumulative evidence supported the view that there was a biologically innate intellectual inferiority of Blacks to Whites. A critique of the article was concerned that the article, and its appearance in the journal, would be a political weapon in the hands of white supremacists. At the September 1961 meeting of the American Psychological Association, the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues passed a resolution taking exception to this paper, declaring that the evidence supported the view that intellectual differences between Whites and Blacks were not biologically innate, and that there was evidence for Black-White equality in intelligence under comparable conditions. Garrett disputed this resolution in an article in "The American Psychologist" the following year.
