Tuskegee Syphilis Study Under Scrutiny Inquiries Begin
Dr J W Williams recalled that participants were not told the study aims or procedures during the Tuskegee syphilis project begun in 1932 by the U S Public Health Service. The study followed 600 Black men, with seven deaths attributed to syphilis and promises of free treatment masking the experiment’s purpose. Officials note many details remain contested as HEW opens an investigation into why penicillin was not used. Ruth McKenney, 80, author of My Sister Eileen and Wonderful Town, dies after a long illness.
