Overview of My Topic

After looking through many wikipedia pages on the topic and terms that we talked about in class, I came to a conclusion to what topic I would like to contribute to. I am interested in adding more information to the Norplant wikipedia page. It seems like there's not much specific information on that topic so I want to add onto what they already have. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norplant

Dorothy Roberts-Killing the Black Body

Nov. 26, 2013 Using the example of marketing Norplant, Roberts describes how racial controversy is linked to experimenting Norplant on women with different ethnicity.

Nov. 29, 2013 Although the idea of Norplant helped reduce teen pregnancy within a period of 5 years, it created a racial segregation when Norplant started marketing to the poor black women. It states that "Proposals designed to reduce the number of children born to poor parents are an attempt to fend off this threat to white people's welfare, a threat that is specifically Black" (Roberts, 112). Due to this statement in Robert's book, it shows the privilege and inequality between race and class ranking in the society. This refers to the hierarchy of gender.
