The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment (1932-1972) was a notorious medical study where 400 poor Black men in Alabama were deceived into participating by being told they had 'bad blood' and were offered free healthcare, meals, and burial insurance, while researchers deliberately withheld treatment and penicillin even after it became available, allowing untreated syphilis to cause blindness, insanity, and death in 40 years of human suffering in the name of scientific research.

The Tuskegee experiment didn't end until 1972, four decades of human suffering, [music] all in the name of science.
