[0778] Department of Human Resources, Eugenics Commission, General file, 1933-1974
Location: North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, 2001 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-2001
Description: The Eugenics Board of North Carolina (EBNC) was formed in July 1933 to ensure the constitutionality of the state's sterilization laws. Courts deemed the 1929 sterilization law to be unconstitutional because it lacked an appeal process. With the Eugenics Board's creation in 1933, an appeal process was incorporated. North Carolina was the only state to include non-institutionalized citizens. The Eugenics Board of North Carolina practiced negative eugenics (discouraging reproduction by persons having genetic defects or presumed to have inheritable and undesirable traits). From 1929 to 1940, for instance, whites comprised almost four-fifths of the sterilizations. During the 1960s, when social workers had the authority to recommend sterilizations, the number of African American sterilizations increased dramatically (approximately ninety nine percent). In 1971, an act of the legislature transferred the EBNC to the then newly created Department of Human Resources (DHR), an umbrella organization which consolidated more than 300 state agencies. The department later became the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Under a 1973 law, the Eugenics Board was transformed into the Eugenics Commission. Correspondence and subject files relating to the Commission's activities, including minutes of administrative conferences of county welfare directors, attorney general's opinions, biennial reports, 1934-1968, budgets, information on relationships with other state agencies, newspaper clippings, miscellaneous reports, and information on the NC Maternal Health League and the American Birth Control League. Includes 1948 Eugenics Board Manual (Eugenics Board of North Carolina, 1948) and 1960 Eugenics Board Manual (Eugenics Board of North Carolina, 1960).
