About
Join author Mark Torres in
this virtual program as he explores the local characters, influences, landmarks
and ghastly consequences that emanated from this small Long Island facility and
discusses the history of eugenics on Long Island, as detailed in his new book, Long Island and the
Legacy of Eugenics: Station of Intolerance.
In the early twentieth century, eugenics was at the forefront of
scientific discourse. The origins of the movement could be found within a
nondescript administrative building in Cold Spring Harbor, New York, under the
direction of Charles Benedict Davenport from 1910-1939.
