Overview"Eugenics was believed in widely in the United States. Sterilization programs were one way that adherents carried out the final action of their beliefs. These practices continued on into the 1970's. North Carolina had the third highest recorded number of sterilizations in the United States. This play is a fictionalized account of one them. ""North Carolina had one of the nation's most aggressive and longest-running eugenics programs, sterilizing 7,600 people -- including 2,000 children -- between 1929 and 1974. Copies of secret state documents, examined and reported by the Winston-Salem Journal, revealed the extent of the influence exerted by the Eugenics Board of North Carolina. North Carolina ranks third in the nation in numbers of sterilizations done through the program, the newspaper report said. Until recently, few details were known about how the Eugenics Board operated or the nature of cases it handled. The Winston-Salem Journal obtained thousands of documents copied 10 years ago by Johanna Schoen, an assistant professor at the University of Iowa."" - Winston-Salem Journal" Full Product DetailsAuthor: Alfred BrockPublisher: Independently Published Imprint: Independently Published Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 0.50cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.127kg ISBN: 9798536852293Pages: 86 Publication Date: 13 July 2021 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
