I normally don't add books that I have to read for school but after a chapter of the book, I knew I was going to have a lot of feelings about this whole thing. While it isn't something I would have picked for myself to read, I think it was an important book for me to read because its on a subject that I would normally ignore. The book was extremely well-written and opened my eyes to suffering and experimentation I didn't even know existed in the United States. This is about an experiment that lasted nearly 50 years where doctors watched about 500 black men die of syphilis while denying them treatment. Its something that I really need to hear about because, like many of the people in the book, I'm quick to turn away from things that make me uncomfortable or difficult subjects. This book was extremely informative but left me just feeling very icky about the government and kind of world that we live in.
