[00:00:00]In 1932, 400 poor black men in Alabama thought they'd won the [music] lottery.

[00:00:05]The government was offering free health care, free meals, free burial insurance.

[00:00:10]All they had to do was get treated for bad blood, but there was no treatment.

[00:00:15]For 40 years [music] doctors watched as untreated syphilis ate away at their bodies, their minds, their families. Men went blind, others lost their sanity, many died in agony. When penicillin was discovered, [music] doctors had the cure, but they kept watching, keep taking notes. The Tuskegee experiment didn't end until 1972, four decades of human suffering, [music] all in the name of science.
