    The Tuskegee Veterans Hospital did not participate in the U.S. Public Health Service Syphilis Study that took place in Tuskegee between 1932-1972. To learn more, visit: www.cdc.gov/tuskegee/index.html

The primary sources used for this video were the book "The Tuskegee Veterans Hospital and its Black physicians" and this article www.jstor.org/stable/2206200 along with the NPR article linked in the description. But there were other books, articles and historians used as well to ensure our primary sources were accurate.

      I’m still mad, as a wet hen.. Gil Scott Heron, wrote a song, called Tuskeegee 626, that tells, one perspect of this. I loved Gil from 1972-4, then opened stage/shows for him, near Amh. Mass.
      My friends , as vets, discussed this with me, right after the end of the AMERIGO WAR IN Viet Nam.

    To clarify for those who wondered:
    The infamous Tuskegee syphilis study had nothing to do with the hospital.
    It was merely conducted in the same region by the PHS.
    I knew Tuskegee only for this story. And I find it sad how such an act of immense cruelty and cold indifference like that study could overshadow the great progress made in the Tuskegee hospital!😢

      I was going to bring this up, but you beat me to it. To find such contrasted events is common, though too many of the negative acts are whitewashed. It's an uncommonly addressed aspect of humanity that in any country such acts of wonder and horror will comingle, dancing intimately while stabbing brutally at each-other in the moonlight of history.

    Col. Joseph H. Ward, M.D. was my great grandfather. I cannot express fully how proud I am of him, and many others who then and now, continue the struggle for equality, fairness and opportunity in the face of savage racism and inequality. I keep a photo of him above my desk to keep me focused on my role in his legacy. My sister and I are working on telling the many other stories about him, his equally amazing wife, Zella, and their community of fearless fighters for freedom and progress. Thank you PBS.

      IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FAIRLY EASY BY RAILROAD AS THEY HAD EITHER SEGREGATED CARS, OR AT LEAST AN CAR HAVING AN WHITE AND SEGREGATED CAR, WITH THE TRAVEL DIRECTION ARRANGED TO HAVING BLACKS TO THE REAR!
      INTERESTINGLY, AN LARGE PORTION OF RR EMPLOYEES WHO WERE NOT OPERATING PERSONELL, AND WERE THERE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE TRAVELING PUBLIC WERE BLACKS ALREADY!
      THESE SERVICE JOBS ON PASSENGER TRAINS, CREATED THE MIDDLE CLASSES OF THEIR RACE!
      KEEP THEM ROLLING BROTHERS!

    I’ve never understood how people with a soul can hate anyone based on the color of their skin. It’s just so hard to wrap my head around that…

    The more and more that comes out about the wicked is incredible,
    Do to a real lack of education, and the fact that we have been on a treadmill
    Just to survive, this captivity, Shows you the degree of pressure and Oppression we have been
    Under all this time. I had know idea of any of this at all, and this would never just be a foot note in history if this was any other peoples, I would take it from me if anyone bothers to read this, we do not die, and someone and I won’t say who, is in a lot of Biblical trouble, We are the Israelites,

      It's not Alan Parsons but it kinda sounds like "Eye in the Sky" doesn't it?

    Videos like this I find difficult to watch. Octogenarian male widower here who spent the first thirty years of his life, less three years in the US Army, in a segregated by law south and segregated by understanding rest of America. This is 2024 and blacks are being told to get over it. Solve that one.

    Interesting the music credits didn't include Dexter Wansel's "The Theme From Planets" you had in the intro. One of the most talented Black composers.

    • @francinethagard875
      @francinethagard875 3 місяці тому +1

      The two songs in the intro are "Venus Probe" by John Cameron and "Discovery" by Brian Bennett. Both pieces are stock music created in the early 80s.

    Our country is rich in history. The KKK is one of many stains on the fabric of this great nation. If more people took a not violent approach to todays issues, we could find common ground. This was very good information. A person isn't born racist. Racism is taught. Fear is the key and ignorance the door. 😊

    Just a thought!
    Verterans are former soldiers.
    All you had to do was spread the rumour that some of them are trained snipers and they like to spend a lot of time on the roof.
    That alone would have deterred some of the KKK members. Knowing that a group only makes the target bigger.

    Now medical has returned as a force to be recognized with. Americas health system is complex to say the least.
    Our last makeshift Hospital was Peter's Palace during Katrina.
