Why They Keep The TRUTH About Black Medical Experiments Hidden
About this episode
For over a century, Black bodies were used—examined, experimented on, and exploited in the name of science. From plantation doctors perfecting procedures on enslaved women without anesthesia, to the government letting Black men die slow deaths in Tuskegee, to the stolen cells of a unsuspecting Black women changing medical history.
This isn’t ancient history. It’s a pattern. And it shaped the way Black communities view medicine, hospitals, and doctors.
