The candidates for Virginia's governor's chair may differ on many issues, but they have reached a consensus on eugenics. Both said this week, if elected governor, they are prepared to offer a full apology for Virginia's role in eugenics. Virginia sterilized about eight thousand citizens deemed "unfit" by mental health officials, as late as 1979. The state also barred intermarriage of whites and non-whites as part of the eugenics "racial purity" movement.
