Summary

[edit]
Non-free media information and use rationale true for Eugenics in the United States
Description Eugenics supporters hold up signs on Wall Street, NY, circa 1915. Signs read: "I am a burden to myself and the State / Should I be allowed to Propagate?", "I must drink alcohol to sustain life / Shall I transfer the craving to others?", "Would the prisons [&] asylums be filled if my kind had no children?", and "I cannot read this Sign / By what right have I children?". Typed on back:

"Photograph by Underwood & Underwood, N.Y. Human Interrogation Points Enlisted by Eugenic Forces. A curious looking group of men invaded Wall Street the community of sleek bankers, spick and span brokers and well groomed clerks and office boys, carrying signs on which some very pertinent questions were asked. As intended by the Eugenic Forces which employed the men to parade the financial district, they were soon the center of a mass of a thousand. The signs explain themselves. One of the bearers said he was employed by a medical society at 206 Broadway. This is the office of the editor of the Medical Review of Reviews who recently offered a prize of $1000 for the 'perfect eugenic marriage.'"
