; $9 million total, which came to about $37,500 apiece for the then-living survivors who had syphilis, or $15,000 for their estates if deceased.
The play’s story follows multiple storylines: in the past, brothers Ace and Bean navigate mistreatment after Bean is recruited into the Tuskegee syphilis experiment. Years after their plight, Quinntasia is ready to get her small business launched, a wellness program called Quinntessentials. But she learns that her healthy body is not a result of her regimen but rather a futuristic, experimental device—activated without her knowledge or consent—that makes her appear white to medical staff.
U.S. Public Health Service researchers thought to study syphilis infections by race as it was believed that Black bodies fight the infection differently from white bodies. In the summer of 1972, Public Health Service social worker Peter Buxtun leaked the Tuskegee study malfeasance to the Associated Press, and on November 16, 1972, the study was terminated after more than 40 years of operation.
Langford brings up the “father of modern gynecology” J. Marion Sims, who—despite discovering valuable treatments still utilized today—experimented on enslaved women without anesthesia. “I and your mom and whoever, we all benefit from what he did, but it was horrible!” A statue of Sims stood in New York’s Central Park for the better part of a century before being taken down in April 2018. “The problem is really rooted in this belief that Black people aren’t fully human,” Langford says.
