The document discusses Forsyth County's involvement in North Carolina's eugenics program from 1929 to 1974. It notes that a recent bill was introduced to have the state's four largest counties, including Forsyth County, provide compensation to victims who were forcibly sterilized by county governments rather than just the state. During this time period, nearly 7,600 people in North Carolina were sterilized under the Eugenics Board's orders, and the bill aims to extend compensation to those sterilized at the county level.
