Robert Abbott and Margaret Sanger

Robert Abbott of the Chicago Defender played a major journalistic role in the "great migration" of African Americans from the U.S. South.

Margaret Sanger, publisher/journalist/founder of Planned Parenthood, is proof that heroes, including heroes of indy media, are often flawed. This article from Women's E-News discusses her flirtation with eugenics-oriented arguments in support of birth control in the early 1920s.
