Margaret Sanger gave hope to multitudes. For many, she redefined hope. In the process, she split a nation. But when the smoke cleared on the great biological torment of the twentieth century, Margaret Sanger’s movement stands as a powerful example of American eugenics’ ability to pervade, infect and distort the most dedicated causes and the most visionary reformers. None was untouchable. If one who loved humanity as much as Sanger could only love a small fraction of it, her story stands as one of the saddest chapters in the history of eugenics.
"American eugenics' ability to pervade..." it seems that "American eugenics" is the actor and agent and that Sanger's organisation was a passive recipient without agency.
"If one who loved humanity as much as Sanger could only love a small fraction of it". It seems odd to frame Sanger's love of the small (better) fraction as a great love of humanity.I believe that Black should have called it for what it was.
