Margaret Sanger opens the country's first family planning and birth control clinic in Brownsville, Brooklyn
She was arrested nine days later for providing contraceptives. The building, at 45 Amboy Street, is no longer standing, but a later location at 17 West 16th Street in Manhattan still exists and is known as the Margaret Sanger Clinic, which was purchased by the group in 1930.
