Tuskegee's Truths: Rethinking the Tuskegee Syphilis Study Paperback - 2000 - 1st Edition

by Susan M. Reverby (Editor)

From 1932 to 1972, about 600 African American men in Alabama served as guinea pigs in the Tuskegee syphilis study -- now called one of the worst examples of arrogance, racism, and duplicity in American medical research. This book reveals the history and legacy of the infamous study though a comprehensive collection of articles, letters, newspaper accounts and works of fiction.


First line

In 1932 the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) initiated an experiment in Macon County, Alabama, to determine the natural course of untreated, latent syphilis in black males.

From the jacket flap

This book uniquely reveals the history and legacy of the infamous Tuskegee syphilis study through a comprehensive collection of documents: articles, reports, letters, and newspaper accounts, as well as works of fiction, poetry, and drama.
