    I did not find out about the Tuskegee Syphilis Study until adulthood. Its the biggest thing I can think of.

      If you find Tuskegee shocking and horrifying, wait until you learn about the “Father of Gynecology.”

      There’s still a huge problem in medicine where doctors and nurses believe that Black people have more natural pain tolerance. It was in textbooks up into the 80’s.
