The Tuskegee Syphilis Study Pt. 2

Our goal is simple—educate white people on Black history.The highest calling of humanity is to love. Whether you know it or not, the racial disparities in our country hurt us. They train us to protect our advantages rather than love others, and that mentality reduces us. New episodes will be released on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month.
