The Negro Project conspiracy theory is an alleged eugenics program. It concerns a project Sanger initiated to give African-Americans better access to birth control techniques and devices. The project, according to proponents of the theory, supposedly aims to reduce or eliminate the black population through use of abortion.This has been disputed by Planned Parenthood and by the Margaret Sanger Papers Project.
