Please Note

The following assignment contains material collected from a number of historical sources from the early twentieth century. As a whole it is representative of the sort of exhibit one might find at any number of Midwestern state fairs during the 1920s. These materials are embedded with racism, sexism, and ethnic bias that is representative of their era. The presentation of these materials in no way represents the opinions, beliefs, or ideologies of the Webmaster, the instructor or teaching assistants for this course, the Program in the History of Science and Technology, or the University of Minnesota.

These images and documents are presented here for the purpose of representing a particular historical event, era, and ideology that defined the science of eugenics, the policies of the public health community, both of which were influenced by the dominant stereotypes of their time.

Upon entering this online assignment I understand the above statements.
