In this episode we discuss the notorious Tuskegee Syphilis Study, a horrendous example of medical exploitation inflicted upon African Americans. And we highlight the United Negro College Fund that works to help underrepresented students become highly-qualified college graduates.
Visit the United Negro College Fund’s website to learn about their mission, donate to the organization, or to share with a college student.
