Social Services, Mental
Institutions and County
Commissioners to
recommend sterilizations.
Since that time there has
been 7,686 sterilization
operations on males and
females. Out of this number
over 5,000 have been Blacks.
(Blacks represent less than
25 per cent of the total
population in North
Carolina.)
From 1960 to 1968 there
were 1,620 operations for
sterilization: L023 Blacks;
549 White; 48 Indians.
Fifty-nine per cent of these
were under age 20 and 28 of
these were males.
These parents and
individuals were denied
their constitutional rights
under the 14th and 15th
Amendments, Rep. Johnson
said.
TWO SUITS ' have been
filed in the U.S. Eastern
District Court by the
American Civil Liberities
Union on behalf of two
Blacks: Mrs. Elaine
Riddick Trent of Edenton
and Miss Ruth Cox of
Plymouth, both now
residing in New York. These
operations were allegedly
performed without their
knowledge or consent. Miss
Cox was operated on in 1965
at the age of 14 and Mrs.
Elaine Trent was operated
on in 1968; she is now 19.
Miss Cox and Mrs. Trent are
