In 1973, Eunice Evers told the story about the Tuskegee
study between 1932 and 1972 in the Court hearings. It is a four-decade
course that study of untreated blacks with syphilis. Miss Evers went to village to use free treatment to attract poor black men went to hospital to accept a test. Including three musicians(Willie Johnson, Bryan Hudman and Ben Washington)
and Caleb Humphrey, they named their act for her “Miss Evers’ Boys”. However, the government made a secret medical experiment on those black men that studied
the effects of untreated syphilis. Dr. Sam Brodus and Nurse Evers were angry with the decision but they had to keep on this terrible program. The hospital
needed money from government to treat other patients. During that time, Caleb
joined the army in World War Two, therefore he got treatments. Evers told Ben
that government gave him a certificate and fifty dollars. Unfortunately, Bryan believed in witchcraft and drunk a bowl of liquid
that killed him and Ben was killed by syphilis. But, Willie has syphilis and he got treatment in the end of story. The study made
many syphilitics miss the treatments. Doctor and nurse gave them some false treatments to make a think that they were treated.
In fact, those treatments did not have any benefits about their bodies; the study was continued until 1972.
The movie told a story about a nonfiction story about “Tuskegee Syphilis Study,” there are nonfiction doctors, nurses and patients.
However, some pictures quality is hazy and we do not know the real story about this history. We know a good story mix docu
and drama, fact and fiction, the movies also do this. Someone think the movie has valuable to see, someone think the movie's
characters is fiction. For example, nurse Evers’ action betrayed those patients. I do not know many details about the history; I just
ask my feeling about the movie. It is a special time that many people believe African-Americans was proof that they were
“biologically inferior” to whites. Some countryside's black people joined in the study because of free treatments. In the medical
history, I believe it was not the first experiment or last experiment. It is a necessary process in medicine. Because those do not
happen around us, we do not have excessive feelings. In Evers’ position, she had to help the doctors for the study. If she did not
do this, she would lose her job to help patients and other nurses would do the research instead of her. The history would change.
This is a fact of life. I think the movie is informative and gives people a think about race and medicine.
