Episode 141: The Tuskegee Syphilis Study - Signing Your Death Certificate
Description
It’s episode 141 and the Sinister Sisters are thinking about teaching a community college course. Please turn to page one in the sinister syllabus! In today’s episode, Erin flips the script and covers a Sarah-themed topic - The Tuskegee Syphilis Study. In 1932, hundreds of black men diagnosed with syphilis volunteered for a study only to find out decades later that the researchers hadn’t been treating them even though a cure was readily available. We’re already pissed.
