I saw the play "Miss Evers' Boys" here in Atlanta years ago, dealing with Tuskegee. It was mind-boggling that black people could have been involved in such a thing, but they were told that it was a way to show that we were human too, just like whites. The old " show them you're as good as them by showing you can die like them" thing that's been used for everything from hazardous jobs to being cannon fodder in war. By the end of the play, when one guy dies onstage from his untreated syphillis, there wasn't a dry eye in the house, white or black, man or woman.
