Madison Grant
Madison Grant was a multifaceted figure in early 20th-century America, known for his work in law, history, racial theory, eugenics, and anthropology.
He gained prominence for his contributions to conservation efforts and his promotion of eugenics, particularly the "Nordic migration theory" and the concept of a "master race." Grant's influence extended to various philanthropic organizations, where he actively participated.
He strongly advocated for restricting immigration and supported anti-miscegenation laws.
His racial theories, though now widely discredited, had a significant impact on early 20th-century thought and policy, influencing both American and European ideologies related to race and eugenics.
