The Denver Express reports on Margaret Sanger’s birth control speech at Marble Hall in Denver, Colorado. Sanger discussed the benefit of birth control for the working class. She also took issue with former President Roosevelt’s widely-disseminated ideas about race suicide, stating that if the race cannot take better care of its children, then it should commit suicide.
