I had no idea that there were monuments to men who used black women as guinea pigs. Good grief. I have spent some time learning about the Tuskegee Syphilis study by listening to a podcast series on American Scandal, and was absolutely shocked by how black men were used/abused in that study. But I didn't know anything about the use of women slaves in the founding of gynecological practice. Further, the current prevalence of medical bias towards black and Hispanic peoples is egregious. I am going to spend more time with this topic as it's clear there is so much to research and try to understand. Then work to change it.
