Lol in 1932 one man theorized that improving the lives of the most poor and vulnerable by extension improves the lives of everyone. Almost a century later, the rest of the country still does not understand this concept.
this is extremely disheartening to me! The poor black people were taught to obey and trust white folks, especially a doctor! Was is really true that these men were infected by being promiscuous?
Sad story!
anyone else disturbed this is sponsored by Walmart?
