Klanned Parenthood

FACT CHECK:  Does a photograph document Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger speaking to women of the Ku Klux Klan?

Claim:   A photograph documents Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger speaking to women of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).

WHAT’S TRUE:   Margaret Sanger once gave a talk before a women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan.

WHAT’S FALSE:   Margaret Sanger expressed affinity for the KKK; a photograph showing her at a Klan rally is genuine.

Examples:     [Collected via e-mail and Twitter, September 2015]

I read on Facebook today that in 1926, Margaret Sanger (founder of Planned Parenthood) gave a speech about birth control to the KKK in favor of creating a “superior” white race. I was unable to verify whether it was true.

Origins:   A controversy in mid-2015 regarding Planned Parenthood and the purported sale of fetal tissue ignited many social media debates about reproductive health, and among the many threads of discussion were numerous claims about Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger.

A common assertion about Sanger’s legacy holds that her efforts to afford women (and families) expanded reproductive agency were racist in nature (as demonstrated by a rumor holding that Sanger once described people of color as “weeds” that ought to be “exterminated”). The 2015 Planned Parenthood controversy debate was peppered with iterations of the above-embedded photograph alongside myriad claims that Sanger had addressed Ku Klux Klan members (presumably to garner support for her endeavors among violent extremists with whom she shared a vision of white supremacy).

Unlike other tidbits of lore that have since evolved to paint Sanger as unapologetically racist, the veracity of the photograph depicting her addressing female KKK members was easily determined. An original version of the photograph in question was uploaded to the white supremacist web site Stormfront in February 2008 and shows that it contained a lit cross that was edited out and replaced with an image of Sanger:

Viewers confused about the image’s veracity could be partially excused, as the blog with which it appeared to have originated (ostensibly fabricated to illustrate a point) was offline by the time the photograph began circulating widely in 2015 (although an archived copy of that blog post can be seen here). The quote that inspired the photograph was itself a falsehood.

With its original context largely erased from the Internet, the doctored photograph gained traction among Planned Parenthood’s detractors. By September 2015, the image had been merged with the backstory seen in the “Example” field above:

While the photograph was an unrelated fabrication, there was a grain of (deeply distorted) truth to the assertion Sanger once addressed female KKK members in Silver Lake, New Jersey:

There is little question that Sanger supported the eugenics movement, but one statement really stuck out. Sanger was “an active participant in the Ku Klux Klan.”

It turns out, Sanger did speak to a group connected to the KKK and wrote about it openly. In Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, published in 1938, Sanger details her work advocating birth control across the United States and emphasizes her willingness to talk to virtually anyone.

“Always to me any aroused group was a good group,” Sanger writes, “and therefore I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan at Silver Lake, New Jersey, one of the weirdest experiences I had in lecturing.”

While Sanger did speak to such an audience in 1926, “she didn’t hold the group in the highest esteem,” and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke favorably of her at the height of the U.S. civil rights movement: 

Never before had I looked into a sea of faces like these. I was sure that if I uttered one word, such as abortion, outside the usual vocabulary of these women they would go off into hysteria. And so my address that night had to be in the most elementary terms, as though I were trying to make children understand,” Sanger writes.

We should also note that in 1966, while she was still alive, Planned Parenthood bestowed the Margaret Sanger award on Martin Luther King Jr. He accepted, and while he was unable to attend the event, his wife Coretta showed up in his place to read his speech. In it, King wrote:

“There is a striking kinship between our movement and Margaret Sanger’s early efforts. She, like we, saw the horrifying conditions of ghetto life. Like we, she knew that all of society is poisoned by cancerous slums. Like we, she was a direct actionist — a nonviolent resister.”

Given the fact that Sanger’s autobiography had been published nearly 30 years before King’s speech, her earlier address was no secret. It should be clear the civil rights leader did not think of Sanger as a racist.

In short, Sanger once addressed female KKK members in a bid to have her message heard as widely as possible, but she both openly described that meeting and disparaged the group’s mission in her writings, and a photograph supposedly depicting that talk (or a similar one) is fabricated.

:lol:  

NOTE: In the 1920’s, the KKK was a mainstream movement and was considered a legitimate anti-immigration organization with a wide membership that included many state and local officials. At that time, it defined its enemies as Blacks, Catholics and Jews. Planned Parenthood today denounces Sanger’s address to the Ku Klux Klan.

Why do 90+% of blacks and majorities of other minorities vote D?  Are they wrong and you're correct?  Or are you insinuating they don't know who best represents them?

The third group [of society] are those irresponsible and reckless ones having little regard for the consequences of their acts, or whose religious scruples prevent their exercising control over their numbers. Many of this group are diseased, feeble-minded, and are of the pauper element dependent upon the normal and fit members of society for their support. There is no doubt in the minds of all thinking people that the procreation of this group should be stopped.

The ministers work is also important and he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. 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.

:lol:   Women's health and birth control no.   Killing of the unborn yes.

I'm just one small step off of being an atheist especially when it comes to organized religion.  

As for many on here despising me......good. :lol:

The first time D's got the majority of the black vote was in 1936.   There was another spike in 1964.   I'll let you figure it out.
