Wikipedia: The Tuskegee Experiment was an infamous clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the U.S. Public Health Service studying the natural progression of untreated syphilis in rural African-American men in Alabama under the auspices of receiving free health care from the United States government. Over 40 years Black men who contracted syphilis were never treated, even though good treatments existed. The Black men who were in the program were told that the Government doctors would study their cases and for their cooperation, they would get free health care which they did EXCEPT for any treatment for their syphilis. No one who withheld the treatment or approved or managed the "experiment" was ever prosecuted despite the deaths of many subjects. Nor were they held to account in any way.
