The Tuskegee Experiment (1990)

The Tuskegee Syphilis Study, also known as the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the African American Male, U.S. Public Health Service Syphilis Study at Tuskegee, or Tuskeegee Experiment, was a clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the United States Public Health Service (PHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The purpose of this study was to observe the natural history of untreated syphilis; the African-American men in the study were told they were receiving free health care from the federal government of the United States. This story is an example (one of numerous historical examples) of why Black Americans do not trust the US Medical system. In late 2020, the american medical system has produced a COVID 19 vaccine for distribution in 2021, and the majority of the front line (essential) workers are people of color. Will there be another 'experiment' on essential workers like there was on essential field workers in the South in the early 20th century? History has a way of repeating itself.
