Live Lecture and Film Screening with Award-winning Author Edwin Black
Edwin Black, New York Times best-selling and international
investigative author, will introduce his latest film, War Against
the Weak, Eugenics and America’s Campaign to Create a
Master Race, based on his book of the same name. In the
first three decades of the 20th Century, American corporate
philanthropy combined with prestigious academic fraud to
create the pseudoscience eugenics that institutionalized
race politics as national policy. The goal: create a superior,
white, Nordic race and obliterate the viability of everyone else. The book and
film cover the heated topic of how American corporate philanthropies launched
a national campaign of ethnic cleansing in the United States, helped found and
fund the Nazi eugenics of Hitler and Mengele—and then created the modern
movement of “human genetics.” Discussion and book signing will follow film.
Get tickets here: $10 premium/community member; $12 program participant |
