Recording Available: The Syphilis Study at Tuskegee and Macon County, AL

Last November, the CDC presented an event that acknowledged the 50th anniversary of the end of the U.S. Public Health Service Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male at Tuskegee and Macon County, Alabama, 1932 -1972. If you missed it, a recording of the event is now available to view online. The program examined what happened, how and why it happened, lessons learned, the palpable effects still felt today, and CDC’s on-going role in addressing health equity. Participants included experts in the fields of public health, ethics, history, and journalism. This website features both the recording of the event and the “Personal Reflections” video in their final versions.
