Item Light on the Shadow of the Syphilis Study at Tuskegee(2000) Thomas, Stephen B.; Quinn, Sandra CrouseIn the 1940s, with the disclosure that Nazi doctors had conducted experiments on humans, the term research crime appeared for the first time. Most Americans believed such abuses could never happen here. On a hot day in July 1972, however, the national front-page news described an experiment sponsored by the U.S. government. In Macon County, Alabama, a large group of Black men had gone untreated for syphilis. Over 4 decades, as some of them died, the U.S. government went to great lengths to ensure that the men in the Tuskegee Study were denied treatment, even after penicillin had become the standard of care in the mid-1940sItem Tuskegee Syphilis Study Pictures: unidentified male(1932) UNSPECIFIEDunidentified male (National Archives, Atlanta, GA)Item Tuskegee Syphilis Study Pictures: Nurse Eunice Rivers filling out paper work(1932) UNSPECIFIEDNurse Eunice Rivers filling out paper work (National Archives, Atlanta, GA)Item Tuskegee Syphilis Study Pictures: unidentified subject, small boy and nurse Rivers in cotton field [in Bad Blood](1932) UNSPECIFIEDunidentified subject, small boy and nurse Rivers in cotton field [in Bad Blood] National Archive, Atlanta, GAItem Tuskegee Syphilis Study Pictures: unidentified male(1932) UNSPECIFIEDunidentified male (National Archives, Atlanta, GA)Item Tuskegee Syphilis Study Pictures: Blood test and unidentified subject(1932) UNSPECIFIEDBlood test and unidentified subject (National Archives, Atlanta, GA)Item Tuskegee Syphilis Study Pictures: Nurse Eunice Rivers and unidentified subject in cotton field(1932) UNSPECIFIEDNurse Eunice Rivers and unidentified subject in cotton field (National Archives, Atlanta, GA)Item Tuskegee Syphilis Study Pictures: Nurse Rivers and four unidentified subjects(1932) UNSPECIFIEDLeft: Nurse Rivers and four unidentified subjects (National Archives, Atlanta, GA)Item Tuskegee Syphilis Study Pictures: unidentified subject, Dr. David Albritton, and Dr. Edmondson(1932) UNSPECIFIEDLeft: unidentified subject, Dr. David Albritton, and Dr. Edmondson (National Archives, Atlanta, GA)Item Tuskegee Syphilis Study Pictures: William Bouie, Unidentified subject, and Dr. David Albritton(1932) UNSPECIFIEDLeft: William Bouie, Unidentified subject, and Dr. David Albritton (National Archives, Atlanta, GA)
