Margaret Higgins Sanger (September 14, 1879 – September 6, 1966) was a Statesian birth control activist. She opened the USA's first birth control clinic in 1916, which authorities shut down ten days later. She was initially a member of the Socialist Party and supporter of the IWW but moved to the right in the 1920s and joined the eugenics movement. In 1939, she began the Negro Project to prevent the Black population from growing in the South.
