The Program: Imagine an America in which
people are forcibly sterilized because they’re of the wrong race or ethnicity, because they wear
glasses or have been labeled “shiftless.” Ridiculous? Not
at all; in fact, that’s exactly what happened here---not so long
ago. Author, Edwin Black will discuss how eugenics was reinvented postwar
as “human genetics,” and the modern-day potential for abuse,
as well as the importance of a new federal anti-genetic discrimination
act soon to be signed into law by President Bush.
Edwin Black: As an investigative journalist, Black has investigated
HMOs, the homeless, the Jonathan Pollard spy scandal, corporate misconduct,
Microsoft antitrust activities, hate crimes, the infamous Kathy Webb
rape case, and the abduction of journalist Terry Anderson. Black's latest
work, War Against the Weak, chronicles the gripping story of America's
decades-long campaign to create a white, Nordic master race through a
sham science called eugenics.
