More than Fact and Fiction Cultural Memory and the Tuskegee Syphilis Study
by SUSAN M. REVERBY
The Tuskegee Syphilis Study is surrounded by illuminating misconceptions-myths that cannot be blithely dismissed because they actually provide some insight into the significance of the study. One of those is that the men were deliberately infected with syphilis; another is that they obtained no treatment for the disease. Some other errors are alleged in two recent articles about the study, but these articles themselves create their own fictions.
