While Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal is celebrated for its economic relief programs, it also intersected with the eugenics movement that dominated early twentieth-century American science. This episode explores how FDR navigated the controversial legacy of forced sterilization laws and institutionalization policies supported by many of his contemporaries. We examine the legal battles surrounding Buck v. Bell, the influence of prominent figures like Harry Laughlin, and the complex relationship between progressive reformers and the era’s pseudoscientific beliefs about heredity. Through the stories of Carrie Buck and the broader push for 'racial hygiene,' we uncover how the government balanced humanitarian aid with deeply flawed social engineering. The narrative also touches on later critiques from scholars like Ruth Hubbard, revealing the long shadow these policies cast on public health and civil rights in North America. #FranklinRoosevelt #NewDeal #Eugenics #BuckvBell #CarrieBuck #HarryLaughlin #SocialSecurity #ForcedSterilization #RuthHubbard #USHistory #PublicHealth #LegalHistory #SupremeCourt #ProgressiveEra #NorthAmerica #History #FexingoHistory #PolicyAnalysis #CivilRights Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
