A 1945 informational pamphlet about sterilization in North Carolina.
North Carolina passed eugenic sterilization laws in 1919 and 1929 and the North Carolina Eugenics Board was established by the state government in 1933. The board was responsible for sterilizing over 7,600 people between 1933 and 1973. This pamphlet was published at a peak period for sterilizations in the state.
