Letter: Barack Obama and the Audacity of Eugenics

“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to get out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. And the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.” -- Margaret Sanger, founder, American Birth Control League, now known as Planned Parenthood (the nation’s largest abortion provider).
