The Tuskegee syphilis experiment, officially the Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male, was a racist study to notice the behavior of the illness syphilis.[1] The United States Public Health Service and the Center for Disease Control infected black people,[2] who could not read or were poor in Tuskegee, Alabama from 1932 to 1972.[3]
The study was initially funded by the private Rosenwald Fund. However, The Fund ended its involvement due to lack of matching state funds, and the federal government under the heavily Democrat 73rd Congress took over the funding and changed its mission.[4]
