Receiving guidance from Charles Davenport at the Eugenics Record Office in New York, philanthropist E.S. Gosney creates the Human Betterment Foundation (HBF), which will play a pivotal role in advancing the eugenics movement in California and globally.
HBF promotes forced sterilization through public education efforts, particularly in California's education system, claiming it to be "one of the greatest humanitarian advances of the past century" and emphasizing the "societal benefits" of sterilization. Their efforts will contribute to widespread public support for eugenics.
