Presidential apologies for the “Tuskegee Experience”

President Bill Clinton apologized publicly to the survivors of the “Tuskegee Experience” at an afternoon ceremony at the White House. The experience, which took place between 1932 and 1972, took about 400 black Americans with syphilis to go years without having the disease treated so that it could be better analyzed. During the process, they took drugs that had no effect, without knowing that they were not being treated.
