Significant to 20th century American racists
(CNSNews.com) - A new, federally funded photography exhibit at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery features 90 women described by the curator as "significant to 20th century America." Among them: an abortion advocate and eugenicist, an anarchist, a pro-communist journalist and a 1960s counter-culture rock singer. Only a few distinctively conservative women are featured in the exhibit.
The exhibit, "Women of our Time: Twentieth-Century Photography," which opens Friday, Oct. 10, features Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, anarchist Emma Goldman, pro-Communist journalist Louise Bryant, 1960's counter-culture rock singer Janis Joplin, and actress Judy Garland, among dozens of other women. One of the few conservatives featured is Clare Booth Luce, an influential journalist and author.
The collection "celebrates women who have challenged and changed America over the past century," according to photography curator Ann Shumard. [article]
Well racist eugenicist Margaret Sanger changed America just as Stalin changed Russia. That is if you call a massive reduction in population a change. Margaret Sanger did the spade work to lay the foundation for the Culture of Death. So every time you drive by a Planned Parenthood clinic in a minority neighborhood don't forget to honor her for change - at least according to the Smithsonian.

Please tell me that Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony are in there too. Or were they are different century. My American History class knowledge has gone to that place in my brain where I only use it every so many years. Then again I don't remember discussing these ladies in high school, well I highly doubt we would have discussed Sanger's motive behind Planned Parenthood. She must be flipping in her grave that an African American man is so strongly supporting her organization.
God help us!
Too bad Alice Paul wasn't part of this "elite" group. Her sacrifice and persistence has made an amazing difference for our country!
I have a nice photo of Dorothy Day and some scotch tape....

No, I'll bet it makes her quite happy to know that a black man is convincing others to help wipe his people out.
I guess Mother Teresa wasn't significant enough in her field....
Fur Elise,
I knew I must have rediscovered this yesterday for a reason. It backs up your last comment.

Regretably, our postal service, the Royal Mail, has decided to issue a stamp of Marie Stopes, a eugenicist who shared views on racial purity with the Nazis as a 'woman of distinction'
