Harriet Washington, Medical Apartheid: 
The Dark History Of Medical Experimentation On Black 
Americans From Colonial Times To The Present 

Journalist and medical ethicist Harriet Washington 
details medical research on African-Americans from 
colonial times to the 20th century. She describes the 
Tuskegee Syphilis Study that began in 1932 and was 
conducted by the US Public Health Service. Almost 
400 African-American men were withheld treatment for 
syphilis to study how the disease would affect them in 
its late stages. The author contends that this is just 
one of several experiments that shaped the way in 
which African-Americans relate to today's medical 
industry. Ms. Washington is a finalist for the 2007 
National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction.
