Eugenics
Who: people who were involuntarily sterilized by the state
What: sterilizing 7,600 people
When: Between 1929 and 1974
Where: North Carolina
Why: North Carolina was sterilizing people in order to create a more perfect society. They were trying to rid their population of birth defects and disorders. In a 1950 pamphlet, the Human Betterment League of North Carolina said the board was protecting “the children of future generations and the community at large,” adding that “you wouldn’t expect a moron to run a train or a feeble minded woman to teach school.”
