Negro project: Eugenic Controversy
There is controversy over whether the Negro Project was eugenic in nature. Eugenics, which is a discredited scientific movement, sought to advance the human race through selective reproduction, i.e. through promoting the reproduction of the genetically “fit” while impeding reproduction of those deemed genetically "inferior." Some scholars view the Negro Project as an attempt to suppress reproduction amongst blacks, who by eugenic standards were deemed genetically unfit for reproduction. Additionally, some scholars cite the involvement of fellow eugenicists such as Clarence J. Gamble, future president of the Pathfinder International, in the history of the project as evidence for its eugenic intent. Additionally, some of the language used in Sanger's proposals for the Negro Project is borrowed from African American social and political activist W.E.B. DuBois who himself was a eugenicist (through his promotion of concepts like the Talented Tenth and Racial Uplift) and advocate of birth control use within the black population. However, defenders of Sanger deny racial motivation in her desire to provide black Americans with access to contraception, asserting that quotes from Sanger are often misinterpreted as racist and her intentions misconstrued.

Though predominantly known for her leading role in the American birth control movement, Sanger was also dedicated to the American eugenics movement. The principal goal of eugenics, a movement founded on pseudo-scientific laws of genetic inheritance and determinism, was to the advance Sanger was a subscriber to eugenic ideology and advocated for the use of birth control as a means to advance the eugenic agenda, penning so in her 1921 article “The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda,” written for the Birth Control Review. As such, Sanger's motivation in creating the Negro Project is a topic of controversy and debate.
