On July 23, 1973 Fred Grey, a pominent civil rights lawyer, brought a $1.8 billion class acion civil suit aganist many of those instutions and individual's involved in the study. Grey demands $3 million in damages for each living participant and the heirs of the deceased. The case never came to trial.

In December, 1974, the government agreed to $10 million out of court settlement. The living paticipants each received $37,500 in damages, thier heirs of the deceased, $15,000. Grey received nearly $1 million in legal fees.

One survivor said..."I don't know what they used us for, I ain't never understood the study." In 1900's a survey found that 10 percent of African Americans believed that the U.S. Government created Aids as a plot to exterminate blacks, and another 20 percent could not rule out the possiblility that this might be true.

As preposterous and paranoid as this may sound, at one time the Tuskegee experiment must have seemed equally farfetched. Who would imagine the government all the way up to The Surgeon Gereral of the United States, deliberately allowing a group of it's citizens to die from a terrible disease for the sake of an ill conceived experiment?

There are similar practices going on today in the case of aids, as I went on to further study these horrible acts involving Aids Experiments on Children....my next topic
