Anti-Semite[edit]

Margaret Sanger was also strongly anti-Semitic. She started a similar birth control organization with a man named Henry Pratt Fairchild, who wrote The Melting Pot Mistake, in which he accused "the Jews" of diluting the true American stock.(11) In his book, Race and Nationality, (1947), Fairchild blamed anti-Semitism and the holocaust in part on "the Jews."(12). [1] 11) Fairchild, The Melting Pot Mistake, 1926, pp. 212 ff. 12) Fairchild, Race and Nationality, 1947, pp. 137-161, esp. p.147. -- Jvv62 18:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Population Society of America[edit]

Racist[edit]

 Both of these are from the same site. [3]  There might be WP:NPOV issues here. -- Jvv62 18:41, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sanger played the attractive hostess for racist thinkers all over the world. Organizing the First World Population Conference in Geneva in 1926, she invited Clarence C. Little, Edward A. East, Henry Pratt Fairchild, and Raymond Pearl -- all infamous racists. (Birth Control Review, November, 1926.)

In 1931 Sanger founded the Population Association of America with Fairchild as its head. Fairchild, formerly the secretary-treasurer of the American Eugenics Society and the leading academic racist of the decade, wrote The Melting Pot Mistake which denigrated the Jews, referring to them as the inferior new immigrants who would threaten the native Nordic stock. (Allan Chase, The Legacy of Malthus, p. 656.)

Picture of Sanger and Fairchild[edit]

PAA History - JR Weeks[edit]

This is the first of a series of articles by PAA Historian John Weeks, detailing the history of the PAA, excerpts from a book�length project that Weeks is undertaking, building on the work of the previous two historians, Anders Lunde and Jean van der Tak. These vignettes will proceed chronologically.

The stock market had recently crashed, the Depression was settling in, and Warren Thompson had already defined (even if he hadn't named) the Demographic Transition, on the cold, gray December day in 1930 in New York City when the Population Association of America was conceived. We know that there were 13 people at that meeting at Town Hall Club in uptown Manhattan, where Henry Pratt Fairchild (who became the first PAA President) was a member. Fairchild was Professor of Sociology at NYU and was a close friend of Margaret Sanger. The two of them are generally given credit for having inspired the PAA, but the organization would likely not have been formed had it not been for the separate, albeit interrelated, efforts of Ed Sydenstricker at the Milbank Memorial Fund (which funded the early activities of the Association) and Frederick H. Osborn (who provided much of the political muscle that allowed the Association to prosper and became, in turn, PAA President, and then the first President of the Population Council). [...]

At the first meeting of the PAA in May of 1931, Henry Pratt Fairchild was elected President, and the Vice�president was William Ogburn (of the University of Chicago and an important contributor to the development of American demography although he never served as PAA President).[4] --Jvv62 18:52, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Henry Pratt mother family[edit]

Does someone have a citation on this. From records I have found his mother came directly from a family of ministers connected with the founding of Oberlin, and Brea College. And from Cornwall, Litchfield, Connecticut. GEJ32 (talk) 04:00, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
