@nightmarexjas: the tuskegee syphilis study started in 1932 and didn’t end until 1972. 40 years of watching men die from a disease doctors could’ve cured with penicillin. the government didn’t just neglect them, they actively lied to keep them from getting treatment. this is one of the biggest reasons medical distrust still runs deep in black communities today and honestly it makes complete sense why. #darkhistory #historytok #LearnOnTikTok #USHistory
