In Lynchburg, Virginia on March 1st of 2015, the House and Senate decides to write a check of 25,000 dollars to 88 year old Lewis Reynolds for compensation over his sterilization. He is one of the 7,259 Virginians taken from 1929-1979 by the government and was sterilized against their will. This action by the Court was symbolic and important because it showed that the government will be willing to provide an apology to what they've done to their citizens- aside from the fact that money does not mean anything when they can't have a chance to create a family of their own.
