need blacks labor anymore, so they de- cided to create and implements various project to get rid of them or the exploit their labor and natural resources to the fullest. They came up with the idea of reducing and controlling the population of Blacks. Many projects and experi- ments were implemented to determine exactly how they would carry out their plan to put them back under control and continue the exploitation of their talent and labor.
A
TUSKEGEE SYPHILIS PROJECT: The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment
was a government program that was ran by the DHS (Department of Human Services) from 1932 – 1972. 399 Black men were intentionally injected with syphilis, without their knowledge, and were allowed to suffere and eventually die due to lack of treatment. The head nurse of the project, Eunice Rivers (a Black woman), along with Sydney Olansky, one of the head physicians in the program, willingly participated. This experiment was kept secret for
fter the industrial machine age, many whites believed they didn’t
over forty years. In order for the proj- ect to work, they lied to people, entic- ing them with ads for “free medicine” and “tests for bad blood.” They wanted
black men injected with syphilis
to see how syphilis affected Blacks in relation to whites, using those men and their family, as human guinea pigs. They eventually planned on studying the bodies of those men after they died from the disease but couldn’t after the program was exposed in 1972. Blacks eagerly participated and willingly worked with whites to conduct experi- ments on their own people during the Jim crow era, one of the most racist times in US history since slavery. THE NEGRO PROJECT: Started by Margaret Sanger in 1939,

the Negro Project was a program de- signed to drastically reduce the Black population by convincing them to ac- cept birth control and abortions. She disguised her plans from Black people by appearing to be concerned for them. Under the pretense of “better health” and “family planning,” Sanger cleverly implemented her plan. She convinced very influential Black leaders and or- ganizations, like W.E.B dubious and the Urban League, to endorse her and the plan to exterminate Black people
