This award-winning series led to an apology from the North Carolina
governor and the first legislation in the nation seeking to
compensate victims of eugenics, or involuntary sterilization. For
more than 40 years North Carolina ran one of the nation's largest
and most aggressive sterilization programs. It expanded after World
War II, even as most other states pulled back in light of the
horrors of Hitler's Germany. The victims were wives and daughters.
Sisters. Unwed mothers. Children. Even a 10-year-old boy. Some were
blind or mentally retarded. Toward the end they were mostly black
and poor.
