Andrisani, Samuel

Samuel Andrisani was an American business owner and the education manager of the Los Angeles, California based American Eugenics Party. Born in Lackawana, N.Y. ca. 1930, he served in the Army Medical Corps. In 1965, Andrisani was the owner of Trailhider Manufacturing Co., a business that made animal accessories. Although he held a master's degree in education, he stated that he wasn't teaching as he felt the education system needed reform.

Andrisani ran under the American Eugenics Party banner in the 1965 L.A. board of Education, Office number 2, election. His campaign speech indicated that crime, poverty, drop-outs and other social problems are hereditary and advocated that all Black people be "sent back to Africa". His vision for the school district was that the "unequal not be regarded as equal, honest and disclosed grades, that uncensored test information as to race and socio-economic status is a public right, graded diplomas, that the problem of overcrowded classrooms be solved by ''offspring control," and that more money should be spent on gifted children and less on the non-gifted." In the speech, Samuel also distanced the AEP from the Nazis by stating that the AEP was accepting of Jewish People. He received 2 votes in the election.
