The study involved hundreds of African American men, most of whom were told by doctors from the U.S.John Hope Franklin series in African American history and culture.Tuskegee Syphilis StudyHuman experimentation in medicineAlabamaMacon CountyHistorySyphilisResearchAlabamaMacon CountyHistoryTuskegee Syphilis Study.Human experimentation in medicineHistory.SyphilisResearchHistory.174.2/80976149Reverby Susan789703MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910965239103321Examining Tuskegee4407223UNINA
