Abstract / Description

This timeline shares the story of the USPHS Syphilis Study at Tuskegee between the years of 1932 to 1997. The study initially included 600 Black men, 399 with syphilis and 201 without the disease. Over the years, ethical problems associated with this study were revealed, resulting in the termination of the study, a class-action lawsuit, a formal apology from President Bill Clinton, and more.
