Race And Membership in American History: The Eugenics Movement - Facing History And Ourselves

Race and Membership in American History: The Eugenics Movement focuses on a time in the early 1900s when many people believed that some races, classes, and individuals were superior to others. They used a new branch of scientific inquiry known as eugenics to justify their prejudices and advocate programs and policies aimed at solving the nation's problems by ridding society of inferior racial traits.
