Abstract
The article summarizes the most important known facts about the Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male, an experiment which was carried out in Alabama's Macon County between 1932 and 1972, and situates the study in a larger cultural and historical context. In the second part of the essay the author offers an analysis of the film version of this infamous chapter of American medical history, the 1997 TV feature film Miss Evers' Boys. The essay is concluded by a general commentary about some inherent aspects of the enterprise of historical filmmaking as evidenced by this particular case study.
