Teddy Roosevelt and race suicide

I've been teaching about eugenics for several years, but I never knew, until I read this piece by Katha Pollitt, that President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent.

Read a bit about this here. And here is his famous 1905 speech on American Motherhood.

Library of Congress' summary of this image:
