Maafa 21 is a documentary of the history of eugenics and its connection to America’s attempt at population control and “racial purity” by the wealthy elite through the use of forced sterilization and later birth control pills and abortion in the African American community. The film successfully connects the work of Margaret Sanger, founder of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, with the eugenics movement and demonstrates its intentions as it relates to the African American community: genocide of the “feeble- minded” and poor.

Thank you, Starlette, for making us aware of this documentary. It looks like a really significant piece of work. I hope you are well and thriving!!
Thank you, Melanie. It is! I learned so much while watching it. I pray that all is well with you as well. God continues to be with me and I am grateful.
Yes,thank you for so much wonderful education and information. How do we get our people to listen? I feel that if the person or people who are making the choice or decision to pay to destroy the very life inside them, realize that they are in a position to choose what to do because “NO ONE ABORTED YOU, (THEM). Please don’t do it.
Good morning and thanks so much for your comment. I believe that it begins with our use of “our people”, “us” and “them.” We must begin to value all of humanity irrespective of gender, education, disability, socioeconomic class and the social construct of race. All of life is valuable because God created it.
