and the incidence of disease among African Americans were proof that
they were "biologically inferior" to whites.
Black doctors and nurses
were also said to be less capable than whites.
The government, fearful that black diseases would
pass for white,
decided to create several "black" programs.
The most ambitious of these was Macon County, Alabama.
It became known as "The Tuskegee Study".
"Guinea Pigs"
"I solemnly swear before God... to
live in purity, practice my profession with fidelity...
SENATE HEALTH COMMISSION
see the loyalty of the doctor in his work...
and dedicate myself to the welfare of patients that you have entrusted to me."
It's the oath I took, Senator. As doctors, I commit.
You see, being a nurse was my life.
We understand and respect So, Mrs. Evers.
And thank you very much for coming to testify today.
I hope you understand that the sole purpose of this committee...
is to uncover the truth about the public health program...
commonly called the "Tuskegee Study."
- It's what we all want, sir. - Great.
I understand that the lady worked the program from the beginning.
From its creation in 1932...
until I retire, for a few years.
Almost forty years.
I'm less time in the Senate!
Tell me, Miss Evers, what do you think of the study?
Our patients had the best care of their lives.
But, according to the testimony heard so far...
in some respects, this study sounds like a Nazi experience.
At Nuremberg, it was determined that the tests of...
We did the best we could. Syphilis was an epidemic below.
Life has always been difficult in Macon County, and the Depression deepened.
You can't imagine how things were there.
We have heard many testimonials , Mrs. Evers.
In some patients, other nurses...
and your supervisor , Dr. Brodus.
The doctor is an excellent and humane doctor Brodus, the senator.
I don't care what they say now.
I am honored for you to observe it.
HOSPITAL Tuskegee Macon County, Alabama, 1932
Are we going to let him suffocate to death? - What you suggest, a nurse?
We've tried digitalis, diuretics...
maybe I should open it up and drain the fluid!
Sorry, didn't want to out on you.
It was a farm accident, wasn't it?
Yeah, he was plowing, he ran away and the mule got kicked.
It crushed his chest. The heart does not work.
Does the pericardium have fluid ?
I have to warn the parents. Why did you get involved with a mule, boy?
I'm going to change the bedding. No wait. Stay away from him.
Why? - Bring a syringe...
a very thick needle. Now!
Do not open it and drain the liquid? Maybe I was right.
I'm not going to hurt you, son. I just want to examine the chest.
Try to hold Evers Nurse's hand...
- ...and squeeze hard enough! - He's not afraid of getting hurt.
It is not often that one can get the hand of a pretty girl.
I'm not going to hurt you. Me? - No, doctor.
This, what it seems. Trust him. Let's heal.
It's for you stand firm.
It's true. And never mess with the mule again.
As it is called?
Hallelujah!
What an excellent doctor.
Is this Dr. Brodus black or in color?
I told you there are no white doctors in Tuskegee, Dad!
From the way it rips silk...
I'm not ripping silk, to be fair! Saved a life!
It is his obligation! He is a doctor!
It seems that they all do their duties!
Do you like to save people. - It wasn't me, it was Dr. Brodus.
I continued my work.
Don't say: "just stick". You are a nurse!
It's more than a profession, so...
- No... reduce it to a minimum! - Not minimized!
Or do you want to finish cleaning White Bathrooms...
like your mother had to do a lifetime?
I've been there. The leaves roast in ten minutes.
Let's not kill each other for you to study to see her in this life!
No, dad, I don't know. - Alright then.
Well then.
Syphilis Incidence
- Enter! - Yes doctor?
Do you still have a ticket to ride the official hospital car?
- Let me give you a new function. - Wherever I go?
Let's hurry, we have to choose someone important.
WHITE PEOPLE
ONLY Dr. Douglas! Sorry for the delay.
- Did you have a good trip? - I.
Welcome to Tuskegee.
How are you? Well, it's nice to see you.
- The same. - Has package?
Let 'me help you.
I was rude! Doctor Douglas, Evers Infirmary.
Pleasure. Yes sir.
As you can see, Nurse Evers will help you tremendously.
You need all the help you can get.
Luckily, a Chicago foundation is sponsoring us.
Everybody knows that the plague Syphilis became...
and we want to wipe it out.
However, this program is only for blacks here.
Therefore Tuskegee was chosen.
It's one of the few black-only hospitals in the South,
a region that's 80% black. You may not know...
but its inhabitants have one of the highest incidence of syphilis.
It's almost 35%.
We know that. Serve the cases the hospitals that refuse white.
Blacks are also more pellagra, pneumonia, tuberculosis...
but there is no evidence that the Syphilis is a disease of blacks...
as she was not a bad French or Russian in the past.
Don't misunderstand me.
I'm not one of those who thinks that Black people are more likely to...
Well, I voted for Roosevelt.
First of all we have to take the Wassermann exam at all. Took.
- That alone is a huge task. - But it will bring great benefits.
I don't want to tell them they have syphilis, do I?
If so, we have to say something, right?
Perhaps it is better not to use an unknown word.
This surprised the doctor.
So what shall we say?
Let's say you have a blood problem, no need to specify.
- Everyone knows the "bad blood". - She is right.
Thus, referring to any disease.
The important thing is to understand what they want with him to heal.
And we want it. I, you want and also the government.
We will not rest until we find a cure for evil.
They are doing it for blacks? It must be a trap.
- Don't look at all the negative side. - Is not always that way!
He is going to be cured of a serious illness. I've never had anything better than...
so not. Ironically, Betty Parsons.
Take my place and case to show service!
Keep an eye on Mr. Blakey...
because he hides the pills under his tongue.
Check the new patient's fever every two hours...
and don't let her drown.
How many tips I'm going to give! Come here.
You're going to do the right thing.
However, do not become full of ideas.
- You always have to listen to the doctors, right? - Certain.
He was fine in the new uniform, Eunice. It seems that the birth to use.
- It's going to be big. - Good luck!
See you soon!
And it was a big thing. The government had never done anything like this for us.
It was the dawn of a new day...
and he chose me to spread the word.
"I was sent... I was sent...
It was sent to me by the US government." It was me, yes.
There is Washington.
And the government is going to send the best medicine to us.
You have seen something?
Let's have a good thing for a change!
This time, we are going to take all the part in something new.
Not that we imagine the health we have here in Macon County.
Meet me. You me summer, do not worry.
Will you see me, sister?
Will take this cute together?
Go see Nurse Evers? Wow, yes.
The government believes that Mr. Kirk...
that some men can unknowingly affect their illness.
They feel bad very often.
This is not good for your plantation.
A sick man and harvest less cotton than a sound.
We will try and in addition to help you.
I also want this, to work for the whole community.
Yes ma'am! Even those who have nowhere to drop dead...
who never went to a doctor, if it's going to be "bad blood"... they
will be treated for free! Is not too much?
Not so the government should act?
And for the color? It is a completely new thing.
Now who is going to see me?
Up the hands! Who sees me?
Hello! Good morning, ma'am.
Don't bring your friends? I am happy to see you.
I am Miss Evers. What is happening?
Bring it on!
Whats Next? I'm waiting!
Very good, very good.
It has been great! It seems that he was born to dance.
I'm a Nurse Evers, who came to see me.
Thanks for coming.
Mr. Kirk almost forced us.
He told you, too? He didn't send me white.
He was a big black man, Dr. Samuel J. Brodus...
Tuskegee, so they treat you for free.
For free, right? Said-free?
Yes, without medical attention and the quality premium.
- But we're not sick. - No.
Have you ever seen a patient dance like that?
He dances very well, but he does n't mean no "bad blood".
- How can we know? - This is what we're going to find out.
I sat here long.
Was that where you studied?
I sat very close to Miss Teeters. Look.
She doesn't like it, but everyone else did.
He just wasn't caught.
- What is your name, sir? - Wait a minute.
Why does the government want to help us now?
Will it be necessary in a war?
The government has a new vision, a more populist one...
and this comes directly from the President Roosevelt.
I'm not afraid to give my name.
It's Willie Johnson.
- Willie... - W-R-L-E-L Johnson...
Hodman.
Hodman Bryan.
Well, my name is Ben. Washington's Big Ben.
We are a party of four.
The winners of the future dance contest "gillee".
That's it!
But just because I told her my name...
I'm going back to her for treatment.
I just had an idea.
Can I do the government will take professional contest.
- How? - I'll take you in the official car.
After passing through test and free hot breakfast.
Lunch? Cool!
Free for lunch? Let's get fat professional slaughter.
cheated you!
- She let you fool! - I was afraid.
They said it was a group four. And the room?
He didn't want to come.
Do you believe that anything Mr. Kirk says is good for blacks.
He works for Mr. Kirk? No, it does not work.
Caleb works just for you.
But who sent me was not Mr. Kirk was the government.
- Caleb... - Humphries.
He sat behind me.
It's a joke!
Don't forget that child while you lived.
He tormented me, pulling my hair and getting caught in the cartridge.
There was no way! Yes, it has the same Caleb.
Is he!
- E does not want treatment? -Caleb? No.
Well, 20 years ago, he wants to teach that boy a lesson.
Clever. We're not even, but it's a start.
I am Eunice Evers. Don't say I don't remember.
Eunice Evers. I remember, yes.
- You were a smartass. - Remember what you did to me?
- You were a girl. - This is not a reason.
You should be ashamed!
Sorry.
Come here.
Take this cookie your mother. Corina!
- I'm done! - We have guests.
He has a beautiful family.
They are my brother's children. I'm just helping.
Why is treatment not wanted?
Don't trust the government.
I am the government this treatment.
What do you say? Trust me, or do you still want to pull my hair?
Both.
They were with me, as were others I spoke with.
And his friends too. How is it possible!
On foot, in farm trucks... They all came to treat.
Much needed treatment.
- Hello. - Hello.
My God, there are so many! I had no idea.
Welcome to Macon County.
Let's form the other line, there are many who need attention.
Please, all of you who are part of...
here and come in form two lines.
- Hello. - Hello.
And your son is still coughing?
A remedy that the lady has worked well.
Everyone will be in healthy Macon County , you see.
The next group!
-Caleb. - Madam.
I see that he will take revenge for I have pulled my hair.
I will not settle for so little.
It's okay. In agreement?
Wait. Hodman.
I don't want to give my blood to have a woman...
- I'm very young, I have responsibilities! - Homework?
With my wife, you know? Marital duties!
You can't take my blood!
Know-Fred Milson of Almer? - Work in the factory!
He has seven children, the eighth route. Donating blood for 6 years...
and fulfilling his duties well.
I hope you're right, because...
- I'm not lying to you. - Can you leave a moment?
Doctor, I'd like to talk to them.
Can you talk.
Gentlemen, look confused.
I'm going to explain what we 're checking.
It is not a germ that infects the genital area...
resulting in a temporary painless, but highly contagious...
ulceration of the penis.
It disappears when the disease is not contagious, or latent.
This latency can last up to 30 years...
until the cardiovascular and nervous systems
... disintegrate and stop working.
Any questions?
Doctor, can I say something? - Of course.
The preparation too, or perhaps their mothers or fathers...
you can be left with actions in a wound.
Then it goes into an animal and it sleeps for about 20 or 30 years...
hurting no one except you.
Then he wakes up, and can no longer walk, breathe or think.
It's about "bad blood." We see who is able to deal.
Makes sense.
It's over. Willy.
Can I speak to Are you a moment?
Yes doctor?
Thanks.
I'm a good doctor, but they don't know if I'm good with people.
Dr. Douglas, you are helping people, you are good to them.
Good afternoon, Eunice.
I see that it worked very well.
The world is full of disease.
- I'm not used to asking for favors... - I don't see myself, but here we are.
Could you make me a book to talk about this disease?
Doctors can explain it all.
I know, but I prefer to read about himself.
The books are very technical.
Don't you think I understand.
I'm going to look in the library.
Caleb, why did you drop out of school?
You were the smartest. I was bolder.
Miss You bombed. Teeters with the questions, and one day it disappeared.
Thanks if you can get the book.
"GILLEE" DANCE COMPETITION
A phonograph
- The boys are good. - He's not as good as you.
I don't know. See how the man did a handstand?
You make it up to sleep, Willie!
- But now that I'm awake. - Come on, Willie Johnson!
Think positive, Willie. We are going to win.
Yes, we are the best! - Of course.
Said the new name Pro presenter?
Of course! That name will give us good luck!
Names are not talismans. - You understand that there is?
- I don't meth with them. - Listen, listen!
Macon County, a group that sounds great!
"Miss Evers' children"!
Come on Willy! Que-Bring on!
Show them!
That's it!
Let's go!
Caleb looked up and there you were... What was that?
- When did I jump? - Yes!
- It was the "Jack sprint!" - He got everyone's attention.
- He appealed, yes. - My name is.
I can't believe the phonograph won.
- He never won anything before. - Neither do I.
It was one night, and it is so. - If you have been.
- The first of many, Willie. - You are right.
From here to the Cotton Club, in Harlem, New York.
- Listen to what I'm telling you. - Willie wants to fly high.
What is the problem? You do not want?
Now, Miss Evers, Caleb did n't know if he wanted to.
- He does not count for anything or mother! - She discovers.
That was good. Who-Stop, you.
Our homes are not, Miss Evers.
I see the face of the staff.
Let's go friends.
Clever. Wait, don't drop!
Did you know? Next time we're going to make a record!
That's right. - I liked!
Maisie! Come see a thing!
Hodman, Ben, Willie!
- "Miss Evers' Boys"! - That's us.
I want you to know that giving my name to the group...
We knew we were going to get lucky.
I never felt so honored. Thanks.
It is the first of many.
Goodnight! See you, Caleb!
I miss you later. Evers.
The audience he loved.
Willie is very good! I could even dance at the Cotton Club.
- Don't you know the book he made me? - Yes.
I've had syphilis. The test was to know if they still do not have?
Wassermann's test?
It says whether the person has or not.
That's right. - Do you have me or not?
- Caleb, the doctors... - I'm asking you.
If you have.
And the rest of them. Hodman, Ben, Willie...
most of whom introduce themselves.
However, syphilis can be treated. There are applications of guaiacol, mercury...
This cure?
Well, it doesn't cure 100%.
And there are side effects, but it's a possibility.
Which size?
You are great, Caleb, and let it be even better.
There are many other prizes waiting.
But I won't tell you what they have, will I?
I just know it's "bad blood". We don't want to scare them.
If you have the right to know, you also have.
I made an exception for you.
It was unprofessional, but it's done.
- I don't want to scare others! - There are children, and black!
The doctors know what they are doing, they decided!
- Do you agree? - Of course!
Yes! Why is he always making fun of me?
- You have not changed! - Well, I'll keep quiet!
It also hasn't changed.
Rub harder, with all your strength!
More power! Rub the mercury to the muscles scream!
- Please! - You don't have to listen.
Please!
It's the weakest "please" I've ever heard!
- Please! - Improved!
Rub firmly, the "Bad Blood" becomes hot blood!
I bet you've never seen dance steps like this!
In fact, since Yo I saw something like that.
- Where? - In Harlem. At the Cotton Club.
You lie! He never entered the Cotton Club!
I'm not lying.
Certain. Who saw you dance? Well, I saw Buck & Bubbles...
...and the lips... Snake... Snake-Hips Tucker?
Yes, Snake Hips Tucker.
Have you seen Ruby Blue?
- I do not think so. - I do not think so!
If I had seen, I would not think, it would be safe!
The man, that Sapateia, jump...
He is the best!
I think I need to see it again.
I bet you... Hey, Miss Evers!
You know what this man says? What was the Cotton Club!
It could not be the ignorant life.
- Well, who knew. - I did not lie. I was there.
Caleb, I don't know any more books.
We don't need others.
You don't...
date someone who has this malady?
You mean, to... - Go to the movies, dinners...
something. You don't do that, do you?
No, not dating someone... - I thought so. Law.
I date you.
I don't want you to leave the farmers!
Do you have a job, is a nurse! - Well, no doctor invites me...
or the lawyer, Calendula or the Pope!
And he's not a farmer, but he's... why am I explaining?
I've been saying all my life you have to aim high...
keep this family dignified!
And he knows how to arrive at the right time.
Good evening, Eunice. - Among.
- I have the truck there. - She's not going to escape!
I want to introduce you to my father.
This is Caleb Humphries. Caleb, Mr. Evers.
Good afternoon sir.
How are you?
He sat behind me at school and pulled my hair.
You've seen worse, don't make that face!
Are you sure I. What did we find?
However, he doesn't like that disrespect!
I thought I had the music here.
Well, they sell liquor and do everything else on Saturdays.
Great barbecue!
- Mother was my best! - The mother is better.
My brother and I...
were responsible for spreading the sauce.
The BBQ Mama was very good.
I always wanted a brother.
Or sister. My mother couldn't have any more children after me.
He only had one brother?
Yes,... he died.
I am sorry. I mean, knowing the disease, I thought...
Do you want to know what died? No addition.
He had no diseases.
It was an accident?
- He was lynched. - OMG!
He had a big mouth like me.
Sorry, I didn't remember Surnames.
There would be no reason why Humphries much here.
Sorry, didn't want to mess up overnight. Dirty dress.
Let go of the dress.
The funny thing is that he would from the moment it happened.
Where?
Anywhere in the US. Follow the lanes.
Chicago. Meet North, or West, California.
Do you think it's different?
The same cannot be.
Sometimes I dream about it.
Go to New York and see everything.
Not having to leave the sidewalk for whites.
And why not?
I love what I'm doing. The processing program...
- ...you know what I'm doing right. - For us sinners.
This sickness is sin; Caleb, not the people.
- And that you'll get over it! - God help them. Our...
- ...he didn't like the dress. - I do not think so.
He can handle it? Yes, is cool.
After my brother...
Well, so I dropped out of school. I had to work instead.
You were a girl! Could he study at home, he was so smart.
Have you tried picking cotton in one day and studying at night? I tried.
He fell asleep on the laptop.
Not everyone is like John Henry.
There is no need to hold back.
You're right! Come here.
Sam, I have bad news.
The program will be cancelled.
- Cancelled? - You just got our money.
And the founding of Chicago? She lost almost everything in-Break.
They gave everything they could. Electronic health services?
The program was his idea!
"Stop syphilis" as you said!
We are treating 1,400 patients 40 injections a year.
There is another disease for our budget.
The idea was to pass a program to the states...
and the states don't have money.
Who says Wall Street doesn't affect the poor?
I'm talking to Washington. We want to see if we can salvage anything.
The data we collected gold worth last year!
I'm not interested in just the treatment data.
Think about its importance your race, for science!
- We're losing lives, doctor! - I get it.
Give me some time.
Court officials, take money from other sectors, do everything possible.
- I need a few more months. - And then what am I going to do?
Treatment is needed! I know.
- You can't stop that! - We have no choice.
- They trust us! - Nurse...
you did a wonderful job, but I have to take her off the show.
We use the money we have the treatment.
I'm making the cuts. Either paid employees or purchase drugs.
- I understand. Yes, of course... - You can return to the room.
- Betty Parsons... - You prefer.
I will not accept the job him. Do not do that!
I hope and pray that it is temporary and can come back.
- Logo. - I know you can do what.
Mr Williams! I know I don't see myself...
Six months passed and He did n't talk about it anymore.
There was a time fewer treatments...
and soon there would be.
I tried to visit whenever I could, but I had to get a job...
the only one who thinks of home employees, like my mother.
We had dinner?
I fill myself with the remains. As such, lose!
Daria to feed the entire region.
How are my children? With you, miss.
It also feels.
Dr. Douglas doesn't want Willie to fall on his knees at his dance.
It can harm the "cartridges". You mean...
I know, it's "cartilage", but Willie understands "cartridges"...
and now he thinks he has bullets in his knees!
Looks like he went to Washington.
Who? Willy? , Dr. Douglas and Dr. Brodus.
Why? I don't know.
Douglas was there last week. Brodus followed today.
For Washington?
Sam. How was your trip?
First the bus, after the train.
I don't know which one is worse. It seems that the ground is still moving.
I know how to do it. What to think in Washington?
Great.
We were impressed with your work in Tuskegee.
Davis, grab the doctor's bag.
Your program has been exemplary. Thanks.
- Too bad the money ran out. - Sorry, no. A shame.
That I would call the crime, but not a solution: a new study.
So the call. Well, and she wanted to meet him, of course.
Do you want a cold drink, sir? He made a long journey.
Sure thanks. - Have you heard of...
Oslo experiment?
Oslo? No.
An unpublished clinic a very interesting study.
Researchers examined hundreds of syphilitic men...
and managed fascinating data! For example...
the proportion of deaths vascular and neurological damage.
Fascinating. Sit down please.
Here is the study.
See for yourself. It has an English abstract.
Coca-cola, beer , orange, sarsaparilla?
Anything.
I believe that Dr. Brodus who has in Macon County...
- ...an extraordinary opportunity. - He only studied white.
We believe that black people deserve to be studied too.
Study? We have to money for your treatment.
Let's get the money. The federal government will pay off.
Not for the 1,400 patients he had been treating...
but we can study Syphilitic 400...
200 and non-infectious as a control group...
without relying on outside sources.
- Can it be beer? - Yes, thanks.
We need your help.
We have to Tuskegee.
- You seem skeptical. - No. Well...
- ... A little, maybe. - Sam, that's serious.
It is important to know if the black reacts to syphilis like white.
Let's assume that Race doesn't matter...
and that blacks react to syphilis than whites.
Well, we would if this is so.
After all this is science. We want the truth.
It doesn't matter race, creed or color.
End the disease. Neither is this department.
For all people, doctor. All!
So I want to repeat Norwegian Study...
- ...but with black men. - No. We have one more...
But it says here that the study was done between 1891 and 1910.
At that time there was no treatment. No one was treated.
They studied syphilitic is not treated!
Yes it's correct.
Without the treatment?
How can we do it?
It is the only means of obtaining the raw data.
It is not affected by any remedy.
That's where the beauty!
"The beauty"! I'm a doctor, my God, and so are you!
The patient comes first!
Don't you think you know? I am also divided.
- We can't cause harm! - It won't be forever.
About six months ago, and then the results speak for themselves.
This study goes down in history!
Erase centuries of illusion about the relationship between disease and race!
If we do everything right, they finance the treatment!
- The government will finance. - You believe that?
It is more than an opportunity to keep our project alive.
Think about it. The Federal government in finances!
When a federal program starts, no one cancels!
Can Tuskegee be a research center...
and finally show what black doctors are capable of.
Consider all the good you could do.
There are no more drugs. Our patients no longer have any kind of treatment.
The study is our only chance!
And men are studied as Oslo?
Exactly. Periodic examinations, X-rays, blood tests.
Let's try until the spinal fluid them.
We try the best, but only then is the result pure.
And what is the studio called?
Of what it is. "Syphilis Study is not about black men."
"Tuskegee Syphilis Study is not about black men."
Right. Sam
's capable treatment . You'll see.
We have the money!
- You know you can't run here! - Very well, Miss Parsons.
Ask him to send you his results urgently.
- Did you put the money? - He's coming back next week.
He still made himself white
... Dr. Douglas will return. Be willing to help you at all.
I was born prepared for this.
Yeah...
- ...About the show. - I can not wait.
Let's study them. You have already studied these people well.
We were trying. Now let's look at them.
Non-treatment? No, for syphilis.
Why?
The study will bring money for the treatment.
Within six months to a year.
And what do we tell them? - There is nothing.
I don't understand. We apply mercury on them...
- ...and not to do it? - Continue the applications...
but use the ointment, not mercury. You won't notice.
And with the money we receive... he
will give them aspirin, tonic, vitamins...
things that they never took before.
I guarantee you feel better.
Until it gets worse.
You do not hear me? It's not forever.
Only for six months?
Or a year.
And then they will have priority? I promise you that I do.
Very well, young man. This will kill the germs that are bad.
Trust me? The best thing is I think, I'm the doctor.
- Not about, nurse? - Yes sir.
The doctor knows, right? If you know.
E-care. - Yes.
So you better believe it when I say...
everything will be fine. A nurse?
Very good, doctor.
Why are you awake right now?
Remember that offer from Birmingham, the position of head nurse?
I found out about this a year ago!
I wonder if it still exists. Why?
You know you'll be back working here.
I do not know if I want. Nobody wants to know?
What is the problem? What happened?
The new program, Do not treat men...
for at least six months. Only treat when they have money.
- So what? - He won't try, Dad!
Six months isn't that long. Pass quickly.
Also, they are doctors. Do you want to know more than them?
- I think it's different! - It's different, yes!
Private is no longer deleted. I was already losing my pride.
There are worse things than to clean a toilet!
Eunice...
each of us has to carry his load in the sun.
You have your load. I have mine.
We do what the Lord allows us to do.
We will go.
We have arrived!
Caleb, sit over there with Miss Evers!
Drinks and I will contact.
Where is the music? - It must be the rank of the musicians.
I see you are worried.
You read minds, right?
It's not hard to read, it 's written all over your face.
I'm thinking of leaving.
No wonder why, where and when?
I know you will tell me, if you wish.
It's not a head nurse position in Birmingham.
I'm thinking of accepting it. It will be good for my career.
Did they eat your tongue? You are not a silent guy.
We were already used to having you with us.
You became very well without me.
But you were very close. We can count on you.
We knew where to find it.
- You do not understand. - I understand, but...
but there are things you ca n't keep doing...
without your head Don't get confused.
What things?
The boys are lost without you.
Look! The best Whiskey in the region!
If this doesn't cure "Bad Blood", nothing will cure it!
A toast to all of us. "Miss Evers' Boys"!
"Gillee"!
"Gillee", damn it!
Show how to do it!
Come on, Miss Evers.
Come on Eunice! You can!
do like me
I knew I could go.
That night, I saw that they never leave.
We gather 412 men and start over.
This time the government gave us all the necessary money.
We are going to do blood tests to rule out other diseases.
Only males only have syphilis are used.
- Cerebrospinal fluid will be withdrawn... - There's a problem.
If they find that it is not a treatment, they will not come.
But it has to come. We have to convince them that nothing has changed.
Any ideas?
Nurse, will we save more this time?
I do not know if I can.
I count on you. So the program is a success...
... We have to do our best. Injections in the buttocks.
What? Tell-injections that are...
buttocks. let them know
So we find that it is a treatment.
Law. Let's take "Injections in the buttocks."
Don't worry Willy. Nurse Evers is here.
It's very important... to
stay still when the needle enters the spinal canal.
Sign up where? - It's a part of the back, quiet.
Don't move, then...
don't affect the nerves going to the legs.
I can not do this! I need the legs to dance, Mississippi Evers!
- I can not do this! - So you have to be stopped!
Go from there two minutes, come on.
It's going to be OK. It's not just movement.
I stay here with you. Relax.
- I'm just going to clean up the area. - Listen to this song.
How sweet it is! It must be hodman.
Dr. Douglas, we have the best Piper South here with us.
Do not tell her! It's true.
Why is the needle so big? I have never seen that color needle!
It's made of gold. Keep calm. Gold right?
- Gold, yes. - All the best to the blacks.
Don't move, Willie.
Take a deep breath now.
It is important that you stay still.
Very well done.
Look, he behaved!
You can breathe, it's over.
You are brave, Willie. A champion.
A true champion.
The next!
I think everyone was surprised.
You're going to have to capture all of them again.
It looks like it is.
My grandfather was a slave and he was buried too.
The slaves are free, but they are still buried in bags.
How do we bring them back?
I know you are afraid and in pain before enough in life...
but you need to see that it is for your benefit.
- If we dared to tell the truth... - We made a wise decision.
They get the treatment...
but you need to bring them back! How?
- You always have good ideas. - Sometimes I have!
- The money. - What is money?
Give them money. $50.
The bribe? - Life insurance.
In order to be buried in a coffin.
I can always count on you, right?
The money they bring for the burial all over again... except Caleb.
I thought he was going to Del Norte, like he said.
They all belong to your brother?
I was writing and all that.
Who is still thinking of leaving? No, I don't believe in it.
- Need to receive treatment. - I don't think the treatment.
Is that your family is here.
No thought of my family.
I'm thinking of you and me.
Caleb and Eunice.
- I like that name. Eunice. - I don't. I have never liked it.
End with "nice".
Eunice. I... "pretty".
You and me, Eunice. Very good.
You said that I was fine, that I could do it.
And you are.
Said just to hide something?
Is not you.
You can not continue to play and at school.
If you don't love me, say so.
I love you Caleb. Now you know.
But I am a different way.
We can take the road together.
I can't be with you with a lie in my heart.
What a lie?
Let's go. To say that this is a lie.
I do not can.
You can not?
That's all I have to say? That it can not?
Will he walk away from me for something that cannot be told?
Caleb, I like you.
When you like someone, you will open up to him.
He added another name to it. I don't know what else.
It seems that either call goodbye.
I am sorry. The regrets?
First of all you can not now repent.
Sorry you can't.
Two words. We are only two this for you? Two words?
I can not say anything more.
Well...
I hope it's better than the one you gave up.
and the years passed.
They said that the treatment would start in six months...
but six months turned into a year...
a year turned into two, after six...
and we kept waiting.
And during all this time, the lady kept it a secret?
I never told any of the men what they did?
I wanted to tell him, I wanted...
I wanted to tell him that they were not being treated...
but he must continue to have priority!
But they said that the Men do not understand...
and the program would never lose them. We didn't want that.
So, rubbed with Liniment instead of mercury...
gave them aspirin, Vitamins...
and all sorts of...
Before we knew it, ten years had passed...
and they went untreated.
But we continue for your study.
But isn't it true that as early as 1942
... Penicillin was considered an effective cure for syphilis?
Didn't report this to you?
We knew that, but he had other medical problems.
A salt solution is stirred and injected.
Tell the men it hurts. In the truth it hurts unbearably...
to tell the truth. Occasionally it's good.
It looks like gold!
It is worth more than gold. Lives are saved.
I use in cases of sepsis, after pneumonia in...
And men?
Doctor?
We are studying it, but Syphilis causes side effects.
- But they will give? - It can be diluted in distilled water...
but I prefer saline. There are a million units in each...
Therefore we must take into account the dose for each case.
Sorry.
Where's Caleb? He no longer appeared at the clinic!
You know how it is sometimes he gives his escapades...
- ... But everything will come. - Hopefully we are coming!
Boy!
- Is it, Willie? - My legs!
What happened to him?
Boy! I'm sorry, Miss Evers, I don't feel like screaming.
When you feel pain, you may scream.
Suddenly the legs stopped working!
- Willie, we need you. - I am scared!
I'm afraid of getting sick , Mrs. Evers. I'm fed up!
Don't say that! You are our star!
If you get sick, we are lost!
- You are right. - More more!
I do not think so. Let's take care of the legs.
Listen, drink a liter of green tea in the morning and be fine!
- Jump like a toad again! - You have to change your doctor.
- What is the fantasy? - It's not fancy, it's a uniform!
Did you join the army?
The war is so My about them.
Wondering how I accepted with "bad blood", a nurse?
I took a shot of penicillin. So, and the test is negative.
The Army wanted my health.
- You will hunt way to die! - At least I'll die for something.
He has penicillin. He is being well treated!
And now, from Macon County, "Miss Evers' Boys"!
- Us! - Heard, the nurse?
Why talk to her like that? And you?
Is it because of the uniform?
Nothing prevents me from arriving at the Cotton Club!
Caleb, is that you? I am here for that.
I go to my bass.
Be careful.
- OK OK! - Let's go!
They have penicillin! I'm afraid it's not possible.
Why not? As time will have to wait?
You told me they would have priority!
It was a promise! Now There's a remedy that helps
... Penicillin doesn't fix the damage you've done wrong.
- But you can prevent it from getting worse! - You can kill them too.
The penicillin?
Some suffer from chronic syphilis, a fatal allergic reaction to it.
It's called the Herxheimer reaction. This has been proven.
Washington is studying the degree of risk.
She is giving here. Caleb took and they look great!
So the Army went to hell! Sorry for the language.
Caleb was lucky.
Yes, penicillin is very effective in primary and secondary cases...
but for ours, which are in the tertiary phase...
it cannot be cured or even killed.
For these men, the study need to go to the end.
- We have ten years of data! - Ten years is not the end.
So what is the end?
We have to verify the facts with the autopsy. This is the end.
It is what differentiates science from divination.
Let's wait die?
Science sometimes requires sacrifices, nurse.
Think how we don't treat them? No.
But we have to complete the study.
- We can go down in history. - To the history?
Let me talk to you.
One time when I was home...
in my town Christmas in the North...
I had to do two autopsies at the same time.
Two young men, one next to the other, white and the other color.
I searched with the hearts and I no longer knew which was which.
I remember that I was holding hearts for a long time
...examining every description of them...
until I finally closed my eyes...
I put one on the body and sewed it up. As simple as that.
Forget it...
to "go down in history."
He thinks it's going to change the way people think...
I hate far, far the idea... the difference.
We are going to prove, once and for all...
by the nobility of scientific evidence...
that, ironically, when sick, we are all the same.
Why do I feel like I'm over the hill?
- How is that? - Someone says...
"You see that Hill? So it goes."
Then climb to the top, and see that there is another higher hill.
So they say, 'Well, here's the top.
You go up again, and when you get to the top, there's another
hill. Good luck to you!
And you're doing good. Don't hesitate.
You're doing good for men and for blacks.
Why can't you look at them without crying?
We all want to cry, but you have to be strong And it's you...
a strong woman.
And I know you're going to do what you're called to do.
Come on, Willie.
I brought this man in for a shot of penicillin.
- Name? - Willie Johnson.
- I can't help it. - Why not?
The name's on the list
- What list? - The Tuskegee study.
You can't use penicillin.
Why can't I take? Caleb took it.
- I came here to... - Come on. Go to another hospital.
It's no use. Everyone got the list.
I'm not going to get the injection? Don't worry...
we will, and they will be taken.
I never did anything to anyone! This place...
Let's go to go there.
-Willie! What did you do? - I don't want you to give me penicillin!
Caleb is going to take me somewhere else.
They said I'm on the list! The injection could kill you!
- I am Vivinho. - There was luck! Why is it dangerous?
Why wasn't it for me? - You are different!
Why? - No one knows...
but we can't take the risk. Hey, Willie...
Your heart may have shot up!
- Caleb didn't say anything to me. - He does not know it! I know.
Go back to her, Willie.
- You said you'd take me... - Forget that, go back to her.
It's for your own good.
She wouldn't let him take it.
I know, "doctors know what to do. "Lucky them you have.
I have to catch a train. Don't go getting shot.
I'm not sure I'm going to see a gun. Willy!
Keep dancing, do you hear me?
He is a good man. Yes Yes.
Let's go to Miss Evers.
Ben is not good. He has eye and leg problems.
Now we only have leftovers and I hodman group.
Do you think he'll get the Cotton Club?
I'm going to buy a new hat and sit in the front.
Are you being sincere?
I will continue helping. I will not abandon.
Let's get out of this together.
I've been thinking.
- You know the Cotton Club? - No.
Don't let people of color in the audience. Only on stage.
Well, I'm going to get a chair and sit on the stage.
I learned that Caleb had been sent abroad...
but if a long time passed without news...
and I began to think that he had been murdered.
I kept pushing myself, but the men always got worse.
The disease attacked their bodies and their minds.
Hodman began to think I could heal by itself.
Let's do it!
Let's do this! - Hodman?
- What are you doing here, Miss Evers? - I'm here for you.
Where is your family?
We stayed with my mother.
They say it's not good for them too.
You must come for treatment. You and your friends.
Nope! I have my own treatment here.
You see it? Just burn cobwebs...
and they look good to smoke.
It's good for the eyes too.
Sounds good, but I think twice as effective...
to do with our treatment!
They work together, give strength to the other.
- So you think? - I'm sure.
Twice as effective?
Come on, come with me. Did a lot of smoke today.
Hodman was very ill, but Ben was the first to fall.
Hello Ben.
Mrs. Evers?
Don't tell me you don't recognize Your old friend! How are you?
I think I'm dying...
because everyone walks on their tiptoes around here.
He's not dead yet. Are you hard in the fall.
It's just that I feel tired all the time.
I have something here that will perk you up. The government sent
- For me? - You and the other men.
It is a certificate thank you.
And ten pounds!
One dollar for each year you were in the program.
Are we paying for having "bad blood"?
They are thanking the one for having done it.
I didn't do anything, Mississippi Evers, I was sick.
I don't take much money and in hand...
since he received the $50 for the burial.
I'm going blind too. Isn't she a beauty?
You can't do anything else for me, right?
- We're trying everything. - I know they are.
- Not a day goes by without... - We all know that.
After all, it wasn't you who did us wrong.
And they did everything they were able to cure us.
Can't do more than that.
You will be fine! No, I won't.
But, thank you for believing it.
Wait until you see the coffin Ben chose the old man!
He's red, blue...
green, yellow...he
's a sight, Mississippi Evers! You will be proud!
Very proud!
- What are you doing now? - You can't see?
Don't you know what time it is? So I can't sleep!
You always say that I can't sleep.
But tonight he had succeeded.
If you are angry about something, don't discard the wood!
Go behind the Fulani, make a left! - Ben died, Dad.
Hodman is going crazy. I'm pissed off at the world.
Splitter not working. So it's gonna keep me awake!
But I can't do anything else.
If you believe that, you would never have to become a nurse.
I drink milk. And you?
Heat before.
Hello hodman.
What do you have? The turpentine?
Do you have any of the paint?
I am making a medicine for myself.
I've heard that turpentine is good for moles. I have something new.
penicillin.
For me?
I thought you didn't want us to drink.
Well, now I believe you need it, hodman.
Why?
Come see ghosts. I don't want to see more.
Do you think they don't exist?
I think you need penicillin.
But you can have a bad reaction.
It probably won't, but you need to be aware.
I have to drink?
Once you know what is decisions. You know, hodman?
Know what I mean? Yes Yes.
- The reaction is so bad? - Very.
But I will stay here. If he doesn't come back in twelve hours, never come back.
Law. Just tell me what should I do.
Moon, new moon!
The first time I see you.
No, don't drink it, it's poison!
Come here! OMG!
Remedy-good! Nope! Come here!
The ghosts are gone!
The baby came back home! I have been told!
Come on Hodman!
Get up! Come on, get up!
Come on Hodman! OMG!
They will help you!
Wait!
I killed him.
As I predicted. He died from having spirit of turpentine ingested.
But... I
had...
with Herxheimer reaction.
- What other items? - There is nothing to prove definitively.
However, the penicillin may have killed him.
Well, there is no conclusive evidence, just an indication.
I'm going to give self-poisoning as the official cause .
But you know what you did?
He could go to jail for drug theft.
Giving him the injection violated study protocol.
- I do not think the study. - But I have to think!
Many people expect to fail...
turns to fail to keep saying that black...
is stupid, incompetent, useless, inferior!
But they forget what you did.
He was crazy, it was just a matter of time.
Will nurse them!
We're sacrificing for something I can't reveal!
Yes, yes, for reasons they will never understand...
for reasons greater than any of them...
for the greater good of any race!
I'm not going up the next hill.
And where? They don't let him go to the plains.
There are hills just for us either we go up or down!
It's the only option we have! He knew that going into the program.
Let it be your privilege, but feel your lack.
It was me. He didn't wince.
I went up the next hill, and sure enough, there was a bigger one.
And a little more.
Look, senator, you still needed my help.
I couldn't save them, but there were things I could do…
things I owed them.
Comforts as simple as knowing that someone loved them.
The war is over, and continue to care for them.
We were lying, yes, but he took care of them.
Tell him it was, doctor!
- Do you know where it was? - I know, in the North.
He went back to the Cotton Club.
I had to go to New York, then I went there to tell Willie.
Saw Ruby Blue.
He sapateou, jumped and danced on the stairs!
Very well, doctor? Was it that way?
Well, more or less. - How is that?
What did you do differently?
He moved two feet at a different pace...
while something like this.
So it was like two people dancing with the same leg?
That's fine. This is new!
I could try. Where have stairs here?
I know. Excuse me, doctor.
You were kind, but you can get hurt on the stairs.
I'm fine, doctor.
Are you okay?
I just need time.
Just a little more. that can.
You need to rest. Come.
The doctor said that he was dancing...
different rates...
with both legs at the same time?
Yes, he almost did. - Now, I know I couldn't.
- But you didn't dance badly. - Now!
Let's see how it takes a few steps. Let's go!
Let's go!
How about?
It is the best medicine than the dancer.
The car needs new tires.
We are in war. Yes, I have heard.
Find out who won some medals.
No medals, just say where I went.
Africa, Sicily, Italy.
Did you know that blacks have not in Africa?
Are you kidding! No, it really doesn't.
You are beautiful, Eunice. You, too, Caleb.
Back up forever this time?
No, Corina's children are already in a position to take care of themselves.
Came back just to see them?
I came back for her.
Many people think that war is fighting, giving injections, moving...
but in reality it is just sitting, waiting.
- I've done a lot of thinking while we were there. - They say it's good for the soul.
I thought of us. He did us wrong, and I let you get away.
- Do not leave Me. I did not do it. - It was all a mistake.
- We all make mistakes. - Eunice, stop recording and listening.
I don't want to make that mistake again.
Caleb, not seen for five years. I never heard from you again!
I'm back, that's what matters.
I have a job waiting for me the North has so low.
A steel mill in Chicago.
A squad of men put me in the union.
In Chicago there are many hospitals, you can work.
- We could have a good life. - Wait a minute!
You know even pass conversation on a girl!
Sit here.
- I have palpitations. - Do you want to sit down?
I do not can.
- Can't what? Does he even say it? - I can not leave.
You can stay.
I do not can. Is not for you.
My life here is over. I need to go where there are opportunities.
I want you to come with me.
How long does it last? Ten, twelve years?
You did everything possible. No one has done more than you.
- He took care of them day and night! - The program has not finished.
What else can you do?
- To be here with them! - To watch them die?
Hold your hand while you die? Go to funerals?
Remember what he said? They are lost without me.
Die with you.
No more "Miss Evers' Boys." That is over.
Nothing you have here!
You don't know how to do it. - What should I know?
I know you love me...
and you want to be with me.
I know this for years.
We were fools we split up.
Why? His father watching?
He only sees the His little daughter became a woman.
What have you tried?
- What you love me. - I have always loved you!
- So let's live together in the North. - I can't...
... I owe them. Already paid. I shouldn't...
I could never pay.
We've lost a very good thing, haven't we?
Law. I better go see the time of my train.
I'm glad to see you alive.
I also.
Why don't they give us the penicillin, Eunice?
- You were part of the study. - This is not the answer.
The study was evidence that medical is necessary.
Doctors are dedicated, and know what is best!
The best was penicillin.
Go after him, Eunice.
Go after him!
Why are you still here?
Taking care of an old Life is not for you!
He is still young.
And I'm not saying it's because she's a nurse. It may be so in the North.
You have a chance. He is a good man!
All the medals on the chest... and I still like it.
- I see. - Leave me alone, dad.
They don't leave you alone anymore as a baby...
as expected I wear now?
You still have a lot of life ahead of you, don't waste it!
- I can't, Dad. - If you want you can!
I do not can! You always tell me to do what is right, right?
What I'm doing is the right thing!
It has to be daddy right!
I was right. He had to be right.
Men continued to die...
but he was going to die , right?
I made a count of remaining every spring.
412... 1946
360 ten years later...
and last year, when the newspapers started talking about...
127 remaining.
412 he started with, 127 left.
And "Boys" My Evers the only two...
Willie and...
Caleb. I heard you got the job up north.
HUNDREDS OF BLACK USED AS GUINEA PIGS
NEVER MARRIED.
And that brings us to Washington, DC.
Just not as what we expected.
I just don't understand, Mississippi Evers.
As much as we admire personal sacrifice...
the fact is that patients with a life-threatening disease...
were not treated, and treatment exists.
It was for the greater good. The good who?
Who benefited?
It is shown that there is no difference...
in the reactions of whites and blacks with syphilis.
- The benefit of this... - If they were white...
those men who have been treated this way?
- Must be able to answer. - I know, yes, senator.
If they were white, the Health Service would never have allowed
the study to exist! I would not dare!
If they were white, it does n't have been approved for 40 years!
And someone would have said something before...
everyone knew about the study, it wasn't a secret!
But how black was , no one cared.
When they were black, you, the US government...
those who consider themselves superfluous and now want to blame me...
and the doctors who were found necessary for you to choose...
men...
or give them the best care you can give!
Taking care of them was my life, sir!
We're not trying to blame you. We know that due obedience...
Dr. Brodus and others.
I walked up the hill alone.
Can I carry the cargo weight for myself.
But, Mississippi Evers, what do you think you were doing?
Honor my oath Nurse.
I loved men!
They were sensitive tenderness...
and he gave everyone the tenderness that I had.
It danced well.
His feet looked like birds.
Let's go home.
The dance ended.
The Senate Committee called the study
"outrageous and intolerable."
The regulation of human experiments
has changed then.
The Health Service quickly offered
free penicillin treatment to survivors.
In 1974, justice secured $37,500 to each
and $15,000 to the heirs of syphilitic dead.
Despite the warning about the dangers of penicillin,
no adverse reaction was observed
among survivors who were treated with it.
None of those responsible was convicted or punished.
The debate about experiences in humans continues.
