Who is truly responsible of North Carolina Sterilization Program?

Michelle Kessel and Jessica Hopper presented a story for Rock Center on the North Carolina sterilization program that targeted women, young girls and blacks.  I the article they speak about Elaine Riddick who was raped at the age of 13 and without her knowledge was sterilized.  Talk about the over-reach of government.
In the article they spoke with now Governor of North Carolina who said “From my perspective, and as a woman, and as the governor of this state, this is not about the money.  There isn’t enough money in the world to pay these people for what has been done to them, but money is part of the equation.”  The main issue right now is reported to be just how much money should be awarded to the victims of this state government over-reach.  The decision on who should be sterilized was the job of what was called “a five-person state eugenics board in Raleigh, Eugenics was a scientific theory that grew in popularity during the 1920s.  Eugenicists believed that poverty, promiscuity and alcoholism were traits that were inherited.  To eliminate those society ills and improve society’s gene pool, proponents of the theory argued that those that exhibited the traits should be sterilized.  Some of America’s wealthiest businessmen of the time were eugenicists including Dr. Clarence Gamble of Proctor and Gamble and James Hanes of the hosiery fortune.  Hanes helped found the Human Betterment League which promoted the cause of eugenicists.”
Therein the above paragraph lays the answer to the question put to you in the title.  Those who served on this board should be the ones responsible for compensation in addition to the State of North Carolina.  Their desire to “improve society’s gene pool” should be the only evidence needed to hold them responsible and accountable.  The Nazi’s attempted this and no one argued against the Jews affected by this from getting their compensation so why should this be any different.  We know who’s responsible, now we need to demand accountability.
