Calls For Smithsonian To Remove Exhibition Honoring Racist Planned Parenthood Founder

I could not find this on the MSM news links....

A group of black pastors are calling for the Smithsonian Institution to remove a bust of Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger, noting that in the wake of the current Planned Parenthood scandal, it should also be remembered that Sanger was a eugenicist and a racist.

The bust of Sanger appears in the National Portrait Gallery at the museum as part of an exhibition titled “Struggle for Justice.” The historical figures featured, including leading figures of the civil rights movement Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and Rosa Parks., are described as “champions of justice.”

A letter penned by a coalition of pastors known as Ministers Taking A Stand states:

“Perhaps the Gallery is unaware that Ms. Sanger supported black eugenics, a racist attitude toward black and other minority babies, an elitist attitude toward those she regarded as ‘the feeble minded;’ speaking at a rally of Ku Klux Klan women; and communications with Hitler sympathizers,”

In a letter to Clarence Gable in 1939, Sanger wrote: “We do not want word to go 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 commenting on the ‘Negro Project’ in a letter to Gamble, Dec. 10, 1939).
