California's Eugenics Program (1909-1964) Exposed, Influenced Hilter
California's Eugenics program sterilized 20,000 institutionalized persons between 1909-1964, according to CBS News, Nov. 13, 2011. The news report says that Hitler used CA's eugenics program as a model for his "genetic cleansing." Charles Follett was 15 years old when he was involuntarily sterilized in CA and he is the first of 20,000 to speak up. Institutions breed abuse and I have dedicated my life to helping people speak out in first person about institutional abuse because I believe it is an important human rights issue.
