The Truth About Margaret Sanger: Margaret Sanger and the Unknown Haikuist

Black Bishop Speaks Out

“I call it womb lynching, they used to lynch us from the tree, but they found a more efficient way to get rid of us from the womb…Planned Parenthood is killing millions of black babies they are reducing the black population in America because Margaret Sanger felt that black people were subhuman and they didn’t deserve to live, you know she was a favorite speaker of the Klu klux Klan and the Klu Klux Klan was lynching black people from trees and she thought it would be better if you could lynch them from the womb.” Bishop John Lawson

Did Margaret Sanger Repeat This Quote When She Spoke at the Klan Rally?

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the 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." Margaret Sanger's December 19, 1939 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, 255 Adams Street, Milton, Massachusetts. Original source: Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College, North Hampton, Massachusetts.
