Thank you Loyal Followers! 1.5 Million views over the years!

For well over fifteen years we at the Margaret Sanger blogspot have been encouraging artistic portrayals of the Margaret Sanger speeches to the Ku Klux Klan.  Her close relationship with the KKK is a historical fact that should be known to all - -  particularly since the organisation she founded (Planned Parenthood) receives millions in tax dollars and has killed millions of African American babies.

At last, the film industry is heeding our advise.  Dinesh D'Souza's movie "Death of a Nation" had a brilliant scene re-enacting Sanger's  historical speech at a KKK rally.  

And now, the new blockbuster movie "Roe v Wade"  also contains a scene depicting Margaret Sanger's infamous Ku Klux Klan rally speech.  

Thank you followers.

These movies bring back fond memories of the Annual Margaret Sanger Art Contests we had back in the day,

Announcing the 3rd Annual Margaret Sanger at the Ku Klux Klan Rally Art Contest

Yes folks, at long last, it is time again for The Margaret Sanger at the Ku Klux Klan Rally Art Contest. 

This year's contest will be the 3rd Annual and marks the 81th Anniversary of Margaret Sanger's speech to the Women's Branch of the Silver Lake Ku Klux Klan. In her own 1938 autobiography, Margaret Sanger An Autobiography (1971 reprint by Dover Publications, Inc. of the 1938 original published by W.W. Norton & Company) Sanger indicates at pages 366-367 that the she got along quite well with members of a New Jersey branch of the Ku Klux Klan at her 1926 speech, eventually getting a "dozen invitations to speak to similar groups."

Participants in this year's contest are encouraged to commemorate Sanger at the Klan rally in unique artistic ways. Drawings, cartoons, historical novels, haiku, dance, plays, videos, paintings, quilts, rap, puppetry, modern interpretations of Sanger speaking to the Klan, reenactments of the speech on YouTube, mime, audio recordings of actual Sanger quotes she may have reused when speaking to the Klan - - there is no limit to the artistic ways this historic event can be commemorated. Please note, this year we will not be accepting photoshopped entries. 

JUDGES

We are honored this year to have two prestigous bloggers as judges, Jill Stanek and Sean Dailey.

Jill Stanek gained national attention when as a registered nurse at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, in 1999, she discovered babies were being aborted alive and shelved to die in a soiled utility room. She went public with this news, testified twice before Congress, and her efforts ultimately led to the passage of Born Alive Infants Protection Act. Jill now writes a weekly column for WorldNetDaily in addition to her highly information pro-life blog, Pro-life Pulse.

Sean Dailey is the Editor-in-Chief of the delightful Gilbert Magazine, published by the American Chesterton Society. Sean also maintains the Blue Boar Blog , a blog devoted to G.K. Chesterton, our Lady, home brewing, inns, Distributism, good literature, the lost art of Catholic drinking, and other crucial elements of Catholic culture. As an expert on the wit and wisdom of GK Chesterton, Sean seems ideally suited for the task of judging this year's contest.


The Big Abortion Industry still holds Margret Sanger out as an icon. Artwork is one more important ways to promote the truth about Margaret Sanger.

RULES and REGULATIONS

The rules for this year's contest are simple:

1) Send submissions to the Margaret Sanger Blogspot through the comments section of this blog or by e-mail to Defundabortionguy at hotmail.com.

6) It is our hope and prayer that this contest will be enthusiastically promoted by other bloggers who are free to promote this idea, borrow this idea, steal this idea, or do anything else they want in order to educate the public about the truth concerning Margaret Sanger. It is understood that any entry can be reproduced on this blog and others.
Please encourage others to participate by e-mailing this information to other pro-lifers, bloggers, and artists!!

And if you are wondering what it looked like on that strange day in Silver Lake, here are Sanger's own words describing the Klan Rally:

From Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, P.366:

Always to me any aroused group was a good group, and therefore I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan...As someone came out of the hall I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses. I waited another twenty minutes. It was warmer and I did not mind so much. Eventually the lights were switched on, the audience seated itself, and I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak.

Margaret Sanger Admits Speaking to the Ku Klux Klan (and getting 12 more invites) in her Autobiography

It is tough battling Fake News these days.  Even sites like Snopes mislead and Google manipulates page rankings to support leftist causes with big money. 

Please always do your own fact checking. 

Below is Margaret Sanger's own autobiography: Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography.

The following quote below is 100% accurate:


"I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan...I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses...I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak...In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered." (Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, P.366)

Dinesh D'Souza's "Death of a Nation" Movie Highlights Margaret Sanger Talk to Ku Klux Klan KKK

Black Bishop: Margaret Sanger was a favorite speaker of the Klu Klux Klan and the KKK was lynching black people from trees

Bishop John Lawson Speaks the Truth

“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

African-Americans ask "Why did founder of Planned Parenthood get invited to 13 KKK rallies?"

African-Americans ask "Why did founder of Planned Parenthood get invited to 13 KKK rallies?"

In her autobiography, Margaret Sanger tells us about one of her visits to a Ku Klux Klan rally:

"I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan...I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses...I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak...In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered." (Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, P.366)

Thirteen invitations to speak to the KKK?  For the founder of Planned Parenthood?  Why was she such a popular speaker with the Klan?

Well, the highly respected Black journalist, Lucky Rosenbloom, thinks he knows why.

Here is how Lucky explains it:

Lucky Rosenbloom

“What do you suppose Margaret Sanger was talking about that made her so appealing to the KKK? I believe she was talking about killing 14 million Black babies. I suppose she was telling them of a way to kill four thousand “Ns” in four weeks using eugenics and abortions outdoing the number of “Ns” they lynched in 86 years…Planned KillerHood was targeted by Civil Rights Movement activists in the 1960s and ‘70s for its involvement in a ”Black genocide.” Since 1973, legalized abortion has been specifically aimed at the African American population and has killed more Black people than cancer, diabetes, heart disease and gang violence combined…This is a sad day for Black America. We are killing ourselves using the most racist, legalized tools today: abortions.” ~ Black Journalist Lucky Rosenbloom

Was Lucky overreacting?  Well, listen to what this former Ku Klux Klan and White Aryan Resistance leader, Tom Metzger, has to say:

“Covertly invest into non-White areas, invest in ghetto abortion clinics. Help to raise 
money for free abortions, in primarily non-White areas. Perhaps abortion 
clinic syndicates throughout North America, that primarily operate in 
non-White areas and receive tax support, should be promoted.”

Metzger's dream sounds a lot like Sanger's dream Planned Parenthood .

Silverstream Priory

St Benedict’s Sons in Ireland

Dom Mark Daniel Kirby, 62, was born and raised in Connecticut. Today, he is the Prior of a newly-established Benedictine monastery in Stamullen, Ireland. The Monastery of Our Lady of the Cenacle has an amazing vocations problem: they have far too many young monks (plus interested young men) for their meager means. Here’s their story:

Q. Dom Kirby, tell us how  Silverstream Priory began. 
The seed of Silverstream Priory was planted in my heart in 2004-2005. 

Profoundly moved by Saint John Paul II’s apostolic letter, ‘Mane nobiscum Domine,’ I resolved to live the mystery of the Most Holy Eucharist and to preach that mystery every day during that year.

Q. Tell us how Our Lord called you to a this vocation within a vocation.

I understood then that Our Lord was calling me to a “vocation within a vocation”: Not only to the pursuit of the traditional Benedictine life, but also to adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament, in a spirit of reparation and intercession for the sanctification of priests.

An indult from the Holy See dispensed me from my obligations to the abbey of my profession, and freed me to renew my vows, under the Rule of St Benedict, into the hands of the Most Reverend Edward J. Slattery of Tulsa. 

Another series of providential circumstances led our embryonic community from Tulsa to County Meath in Ireland, where we found a property and buildings.

Q. How did you find your priory in County Meath?
We made a novena to St Thérèse of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face, and prayed to Blessed Columba Marmion.

Upon arriving at Silverstream, I discovered hanging above the sacristy vesting cabinet, a framed document in Latin attesting to the dedication of the little church and its altar to St Thérèse.

On October 19, 2011, I met with the Most Reverend Michael Smith, Bishop of Meath, and laid our project before him. He graciously welcomed us to the Diocese of Meath.

And so, with the fatherly blessing of Bishop Slattery, Dom Benedict Andersen and I set out for the Isle of Saints and Scholars to implant traditional Benedictine life at Silverstream, committed to the traditional forms of the sacred Liturgy, celebrated in Latin with Gregorian chant.

Five Years Before Margaret Sanger Spoke to Ku Klux Klan, KKK Murdered Catholic priest, Father James Coyle

Margaret Sanger gives a detailed account of her well-received 1926 speech to the Ku Klux Klan in her autobiography.  Sanger's open admission to speaking at a KKK rally has not stopped leftists from trying to deny it happened.  Thanks to scholars like Dr. Paul Kengor, a university professor, and Arina Grossu at the Washington Times, the Margaret Sanger KKK Planned Parenthood connection has received greater attention in recent years - despite Google's attempt to rank their research low in Margaret Sanger KKK queries.  

The new attention Sanger's KKK speech has received has forced leftists into the odd position of trying to defend the repugnant idea of speaking to the Klan in 1926.  One thing you may hear is that the KKK was different in the 1920's.  Probably true,  at that time it was far more violent, powerful, bigoted and racist.  

If you have any doubt as to what the Klan was like in the 1920's, read this account of the 1921 murder of Father James Coyle by the KKK - - Victim of the Klan: Father James Edwin Coyle.  Brian Kelly  does an excellent  job recounting the horrific murder of Father Coyle,   Even more startling is how the KKK subsequently fixed the trial leading to the acquittal of the murderer.

As Larry Peterson notes in his article,  An American story about an Irish priest, a brave girl, and the KKK, the Klan quickly rallied behind the murderer of Father Coyle:  

Stephenson turned himself in and was charged with Father Coyle’s murder. The KKK paid for the defense, the judge was a klansman and the lawyer who defended Stephenson was Hugo Black, the future U. S. Supreme Court Justice. Although not a Klan member at the time of trial, Black did become a member afterwards. The verdict took only a few hours to come in. It was “not guilty.”

Yes, Margaret Sanger defenders, the Klan was different in 1926 when Sanger was so warmly received by the KKK and received "a dozen invitations to speak to similar groups." If possible, it was far more evil and wicked.  

So why did the Ku Klux Klan love Sanger so much?  And what exactly did Sanger say at the KKK rally that lead the Klan to love her so much?  A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups?  Ignore that liberal media!

When Margaret Sanger Spoke to the KKK - What Really Happened?

Dr. Paul Kengor takes an in depth look at what really happened that night when Margaret Sanger first spoke to the Ku Klux Klan.  Check out his brilliant analysis over the American Spectator:  Reflections on Roe: When Margaret Sanger Spoke to the KKK .


As the professor points out, there is no excuse not to know this stuff!  If a conservative group was receiving millions of dollars of federal funds and had such close ties to the KKK, rest assured we would never here the end of it and there would be endless movies, plays and documentaries memorializing the events. 

Well, Professor Kengor at least did his part.
  
Here is a pretty healthy excerpt, but be sure to read the whole thing at the American Spectator:  Reflections on Roe: When Margaret Sanger Spoke to the KKK .



***************************************************************************

*** In May 1926, a hopeful spring day, this progressive icon, this liberal hero, this founding mother of one of liberalism’s most sacred organizations, Planned Parenthood, an organization that liberals demand we fund with tax dollars, went directly to a KKK meeting and spoke at length to the faithful.

There’s no excuse for not knowing that Sanger did this, other than the routine self-censorship and self-imposed ignorance that liberals excel at imposing on themselves. Sanger openly wrote about in her 1938 autobiography published by W.W. Norton, one of the leading New York publishing houses.

There, on pages 366 and 367, Sanger began by immediately justifying her acceptance of the invitation: “Always to me any aroused group was a good group, and therefore I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan at Silver Lake, New Jersey.” (Imagine a modern Republican saying roughly the same thing: “Always to me any passionate group is a good group, and therefore I accepted an invitation to talk to the [fill-in-the-blank] branch of the Ku Klux Klan….”

Sanger called it “one of the weirdest experiences I had in lecturing,” apparently because of the highly secretive way she was transported and escorted: “My letter of instruction told me what train to take, to walk from the station two blocks straight ahead, then two to the left. I would see a sedan parked in front of a restaurant.” This might have seemed a little scary to a woman traveling alone, but Planned Parenthood’s founder was undeterred, doing exactly what the klanswomen had ordered: “I obeyed orders implicitly, walked the blocks, saw the car, found the restaurant, went in and ordered come cocoa, stayed my allotted ten minutes, then approached the car hesitatingly and spoke to the driver. I received no reply. She might have been totally deaf as far as I was concerned. Mustering up my courage, I climbed in the back and settled back. Without a turn of the head, a smile, or a word to let me know I was right, she stepped on the self-starter. For fifteen minutes we wound around the streets. It must have been towards six in the afternoon. We took this lonely lane and that through the woods, and an hour later pulled up in a vacant space near a body of water beside a large, unpainted, barnish building.”

A barn—good choice.

Again, this must have been a little unnerving, frightening. Was Sanger not concerned? Apparently not enough to be turned away from an exciting chance to speak to the KKK.

She continued: “My driver got out, talked with several other women, then said to me severely, ‘Wait here. We will come for you.’ She disappeared. More cars buzzed up the dusty road into the parking place. Occasionally men dropped wives who walked hurriedly and silently within. This went on mystically until night closed down and I was alone in the dark. A few gleams came through chinks in the window curtains. Even though it was May, I grew chillier and chillier.”

Amazingly, after waiting for what she said was three hours, Sanger entered the den. She was “summoned at last and entered a bright corridor filled with wraps. As someone came out of the hall I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses. I waited another twenty minutes. It was warmer and I did not mind so much. Eventually the lights were switched on, the audience seated itself, and I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak.”

Sanger relayed little of what she shared with the klanswomen at their rally, though apparently she was extremely successful and satisfied with herself: “I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered. The conversation went on and on, and when we were finally through it was too late to return to New York…. I could not even send a telegram to let my family know whether I had been thrown in the river or was being held incommunicado. It was nearly one before I reached Trenton, and I spent the night in a hotel.”

The Planned Parenthood founder’s KKK talk was apparently a smash hit. Not only did it go very late, after a very long wait, but no less than “a dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered.” Wow.

***

Maybe Maggie’s feminist cheerleaders can eagerly assure us that the Planned Parenthood matron and her white-hooded sisters simply exchanged cooking recipes or “went on and on” talking about their hair and boys and how much they hate math.

Yes, there was hate in that room that day alright, but it was of a different sort. There’s no denying it: this feminist icon spoke to the KKK in New Jersey in May 1926. That alone would place any conservative or Republican directly in liberal hell, with no chance for redemption. But a progressive icon like Margaret Sanger? Hey, no problem: Launching Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion provider, is apparently suitable penance in the liberal church.

One might ask, why would the KKK be so interested in Ms. Sanger? The reasons are obvious, a natural fit.

Sanger was a passionate racial-eugenicist with a crowning vision for what she openly called “race improvement.” The Planned Parenthood founder lamented America’s “race of degenerates.” The nation’s landscape needed to be purged of its “human weeds” and “the dead weight of human waste.” This included the “feeble-minded,” the “insane,” and the just plain “idiots.” Sanger shared the disparaging view of humanity held by another progressive icon, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, who declared that “Three generations of imbeciles are enough.” Like Holmes, and, for that matter, like Adolf Hitler—who was an obviously more aggressive racial-eugenicist—Sanger hoped to finesse and refine the “gene pool.” She would do so not with gas chambers and concentration camps but with birth-control pills, eliminating human life before conception rather than after birth. Thus, her Planned Parenthood, which was originally called the American Birth Control League.

One of Sanger’s favorite slogans, so much so that it adorned the masthead of her Birth Control Review, was this: “Birth Control: To Create a Race of Thoroughbreds.”

In this Sangerian vision, blacks were singled out.

Progressives today dare not raise the alarming specter of Sanger’s “Negro Project,” or her correspondence with Dr. Clarence Gamble, one of her Negro Project collaborators. In a remarkable December 10, 1939 letter today held in the Sanger archives at Smith College (I have a photocopy), Sanger urged Gamble: “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.”

I’ve written about that letter here before. To be fair, Sanger’s exact meaning isn’t entirely clear, but it seemed clear enough for the boys (and gals) in the white hoods. Thus, she had an open-invitation from the KKK. For the guys and gals at the Klan, what wasn’t there to like?

Needless to say, this is disturbing and infuriating at so many levels, especially the rank hypocrisy.

Can you imagine if a conservative or right-of-center organization—an ideological equivalent to Planned Parenthood—had been founded by a leader who had spoken to the KKK? Imagine if, say, the founder of the NRA or National Right to Life had spoken to the KKK. How long would it take the liberal (and pro-choice) media to completely discredit that group forever simply via guilt-by-association with its founder? The group would instantaneously cease to exist. It would not last another year, maybe not even survive a news cycle.

But liberals can get away with this stuff. Worse, they can flip it on its head. Amazingly, they viciously denounce not those who support Planned Parenthood but those who don’t. Remember the debate in 2011? When Republicans sought to cut federal funding of Planned Parenthood, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Republicans had placed a “bull’s eye on women in America.” Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) asserted, “This is a war on women.” Senator Dianne Feinstein insisted that defunding efforts were “nothing more than an opportunity for the right wing in the House to sock it to women.” Senator Barbara Boxer described Republican efforts as a “vendetta” against women. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called it a “very dangerous situation for… women across our country.” Pelosi told reporters: “It’s degrading to women; it’s disrespectful.” She said Republicans were using Planned Parenthood as a “whipping boy.”

How ironic that Nancy Pelosi would use Planned Parenthood and “whipping boy” in the same sentence. Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger spoke to the KKK’s whipping boys—or at least the whipping boys’ wives.

But again, no problem for liberals. They don’t know any of this history. They don’t teach it. They won’t even be bothering with this article. I would be shocked if even a hundred liberals read this article from start to finish.

Liberals not only hail Planned Parenthood but lionize its “race-improvement” founder. When Hillary Clinton was adorned with the glorious Margaret Sanger Award by Planned Parenthood, she glowed, expressing her “awe” of the racial-eugenicist. Obviously, no one at the New York Times zinged Hillary for being in awe of a woman who addressed the women’s branch of the KKK. And no liberal said the same of Nancy Pelosi when she gleefully accepted the Sanger Award.

In fact, only a culture and education system so numbingly ignorant from one-sided liberal indoctrination could produce a liberal African-American president who likewise stands in awe of Sanger’s legacy. “Thank you, Planned Parenthood,” said Barack Obama tearfully in an April 2013 speech to the Planned Parenthood faithful, “God bless you.” The black president promised he will always be there with Planned Parenthood “every step of the way.”

Today, Planned Parenthood is the single leading killer of unborn African-American babies, whose lives it snuffs out at a percentage far higher than white babies. That’s the real racial legacy of Margaret Sanger. On January 22, 1973, Roe v. Wade would give her Planned Parenthood its mandate, and liberals would sanctify its work with taxpayer funding.

So, when liberals wail and gnash their teeth over Steve Scalise, ask them if they give a rip that one of the charter members of the progressive hall of fame, a forever-revered icon-in-good-standing, Saint Margaret Sanger, had a Negro Project, preached “race improvement,” and spoke to the KKK. Don’t be surprised when they respond in complete denial, complete anger, or complete bewilderment.

*******************************************************************************

Again folks, let me repeat the important questions asked by Professor Kengor:

Can you imagine if a conservative or right-of-center organization—an ideological equivalent to Planned Parenthood—had been founded by a leader who had spoken to the KKK? Imagine if, say, the founder of the NRA or National Right to Life had spoken to the KKK. How long would it take the liberal (and pro-choice) media to completely discredit that group forever simply via guilt-by-association with its founder? 

Dr. Kengor is exactly right.  Where are the creative people in the pro-life movement willing to a make the Margaret Sanger Monologues? Just imagine a play travelling from college campus to college campus where on stage an actress dressed like Sanger recites racist Margaret Sanger quotes to fellow actors dressed as the Silver Lake Ku Klux Klan.   

Now let's get out there and educate folks about Planned Parenthood's ugly racist past.

Margaret Sanger, Snopes, Planned Parenthood and the Ku Klux Klan

Margaret Sanger, Snopes, Planned Parenthood and the Ku Klux Klan

We really don't need to consult Snopes, the internet Urban Legend Reference Page, to answer the question, "Was Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger really a keynote speaker at a Ku Klux Klan Rally?"

This is an easy one.

Just turn to page 366 of the Margaret Sanger's own autobiography, Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography and read the following excerpt:

I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan...I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses...I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak...In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered.  (Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, P.366)

And wait, did she just say:

A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered.  (Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, P.366)

Yep!  What did she say to these crazed Klan bigots that caused her to get 12 more invitations?  What kind of hate monger gets invited to 13 Ku Klux Klan rallies?   This blog seeks to answer those quations.

Where Would We Be Without Planned Parenthood?

This Planned Parenthood cartoon Indy Star Gary Varvel says it all:

Google Autocomplete for Margaret Sanger Blocks "Racist" or "KKK" - but Top Suggestions for Bing, AOL & DuckDuckGo

Google Autocomplete Won't Suggest "Racist" or "KKK" for Margaret Sanger Search - but Yahoo, Bing, Aol & DuckDuckGo do

The power of suggestion.

When you type "Margaret Sanger" into any search engine (besides Google) the Autocomplete suggestions for Yahoo, Bing, Aol and DuckDuckGo include terms like "racist," "Negro Project," "eugenics," "KKK," and "colored people," among others.

The Google Autocomplete, however, will suggest none of those terms to finish a Margaret Sanger search.  Instead, the Google search engine suggests "apush," "speech," "award," and "books."

1. 
   

Of the mere four words suggested by Google, only the term "award" is suggested by any of the other search engines.  We just find this strange.  What is the purpose of Autocomplete?  To help users find what they are most likely thinking?  Or is it to tell users what Google wants them to think? 

In her autobiography, Margaret Sanger states:

"I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan...I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses...I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak...In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered." (Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, P.366)

It is no surprise that researches, students, and the public at large are curious about Sanger's past.  Why was the founder of Planned Parenthood speaking to the KKK?  What did Margaret Sanger say in her speech to the KKK?  What racist quotes did Margaret Sanger use at the Klan rally?  

After the Klan rally, she states "a dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered."  Why was the KKK so enthusiastic about Sanger?  And as is well documented in our sidebar, Margaret Sanger is well know for a series of racist quotes.  Were some of the Margaret Sanger quotes used at Klan rallies?

(See 10-Eye-Opening Quotes From Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger from LifeNews.com.)

As demonstrated by the suggestions from the Autocomplete in all the other search engines, internet users are very curious about the racist past of the Planned Parenthood founder.

So why the strange suggestions from Google?

New Voices: Who Was Margaret Sanger?

ForAmerica.com: This Letter From A Group Of Black Pastors Sums Up Why We Should Stop Honoring Margaret Sanger

ForAmerica.com has become one of the strongest social media voices for the unborn.  Lately it has been on top of both the Planned Parenthood Selling Baby Parts Story as well as the controversy of former KKK speaker Margaret Sanger being honored at the Smithsonian Institute.  Follow ForAmerica on Twitter and be sure to keep an on its website.

This Letter From A Group Of Black Pastors Sums Up Why We Should Stop Honoring Margaret Sanger

A collective of black pastors has written a letter to the National Portrait Gallery asking that the bust of Margaret Sanger, honoring the founder of Planned Parenthood, be removed due to her crimes against humanity in general and black children in particular.

Here’s an excerpt from the letter (emphasis added):

Perhaps the Gallery is unaware that Ms. Sanger supported black eugenics, a racist attitude toward black and other minority babies; an elitist attitude toward those she regarded as “the feeble minded;” speaking at rallies of Ku Klux Klan women; and communications with Hitler sympathizers. Also, the notorious “Negro Project” which sought to limit, if not eliminate, black births, was her brainchild. Despite these well-documented facts of history, her bust sits proudly in your gallery as a hero of justice. The obvious incongruity is staggering!

Perhaps your institution is a victim of propaganda advanced by those who support abortion. Nevertheless, a prestigious institution like the National Portrait Gallery should have higher standards and subject its honorees to higher scrutiny.

Until now the national spotlight has not fallen on Sanger’s background. However, the recent revelations about aborted babies’ organs and body parts being sold, have not only brought Planned Parenthood under intense scrutiny, but also raised questions about its founder, Margaret Sanger. If the revelations were not consistent with her character and ideas, one might argue that Planned Parenthood has “gone rogue” and abandoned Sanger. The fact is that the behavior of these abortionists, their callous and cavalier attitude toward these babies, is completely in keeping with Sanger’s perverse vision for America.
