        History

        The American Eugenics Party (AEP) was a white supremacist organization based in the United States that aimed to improve the genetic quality of the population. Founded in Los Angeles, California in the 1960s, the AEP held meetings in Long Beach and Santa Barbara. Members of the party included Samuel Andrisani, primary spokesperson and Education Manager; John S. Vanders, Public Relations Manager; and Robert Henderon, Chairman of the Race Relations Committee.

        The AEP’s mission was founded on and motivated by eugenics and scientific racism. Key tenets of their platform include the deportation of all racialized Americans, the prohibition of miscegenation, maintaining unity among all white racists, and sterilizing lower income, incarcerated, or disabled white Americans.
