From Carolina Journal Radio Program No. 775: The original political progressives pursued some particularly illiberal goals. That includes their widespread support for eugenics, which led to thousands of forced sterilizations in North Carolina and across the country. Thomas Leonard, research scholar at Princeton University, discusses progressives’ support for eugenics in the recent book Illiberal Reformers. He shared key points from his research during a recent Hayek Lecture at Duke University.
