No Más Bebés tells the story of a little-known but landmark civil rights case, Madrigal v. Quilligan. In 1975 a small group of immigrant women sued county doctors, the state, and the U.S. government after they were sterilized while giving birth at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Led by an intrepid, 26-year-old Chicana lawyer and armed with hospital records secretly gathered by a whistle-blowing young doctor, the mothers faced public exposure and stood up to powerful institutions in the name of justice.
This event is free and open to the public. No RSVP is necessary.
