A request was sent to the [[Smithsonian Institution]] for a bust of Sanger currently on display in a "Struggle for Justice" exhibit. The bust was a gift of Cordelia Scaife May.<ref>[http://collections.si.edu/search/tag/tagDoc.htm?recordID=npg_NPG.72.70 NPG.72.70]</ref> The request, led by a group of black pastors, noted that Sanger has previously spoke in front of the KKK, as well as a long line of racist viewpoints.<ref>[http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/penny-starr/smithsonian-refuses-request-black-pastors-remove-bust-eugenicist-planned Smithsonian Refuses Request from Black Pastors to Remove Bust of Eugenicist Planned Parenthood Founder]</ref><ref>[http://www.lifenews.com/2015/08/22/smithsonian-refuses-to-remove-margaret-sanger-statue-we-dont-care-she-was-a-eugenicist/ Smithsonian Refuses to Remove Margaret Sanger Statue: We Don’t Care She Was a Eugenicist], [[LifeNews.com]]</ref><ref>[http://time.com/4013069/planned-parenthood-margaret-sanger-national-portrait-gallery/ Conservatives Want Bust of Planned Parenthood Founder Removed From National Portrait Gallery], [[Time magazine]]</ref> One reason the Smithsonian refused the request was because of her role in Women's rights. The pastors noted that it would make more sense to place the bust in an exhibit together with "with busts of Pharaoh, Herod, Hitler, Stalin, Mao Zedong, Goebbels, Pol Pot, and Dr. Mengle," in order to "put her in proper historical context with the infamous and evil figures who committed genocide."<ref>[http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2015/August/Smithsonian-Wont-Remove-Bust-of-Margaret-Sanger Smithsonian Won't Remove Bust of Margaret Sanger], [[Christian Broadcasting Network]]</ref>

Overshadowed by her well known activism in the arena of birth control and the organization [[Planned Parenthood]], is Sanger's support for [[Euthanasia]]. During the 1950's, Sanger was a member of the advisory council for the Euthanasia Society of America.<ref>[http://liveactionnews.org/legacy-of-death-abortion-eugenics-euthanasia-groups-shared-board-members/ Legacy of death: Abortion, eugenics, euthanasia groups shared board members], [[Live Action]]</ref>
