Black Men: Remembering The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment

Akin to the evils of slavery, the “Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment” is another part of dark American history that African Americans ought not forget, particularly Black men, considering their poor health care and high mortality rates as compared to other racial groups in America. According to VeryWell Health (“an award-winning online resource for reliable, understandable, and up-to-date health information”), “Black men in the United States suffer worse health than any other racial group in America.” Perhaps some applicable terms that come to mind are “medical malpractice,” “medical negligence,” and “misdiagnosis” at best and “eugenics” at its worst.
