In 1987, there was a syphilis epidemic in a small Alabama town, Tuskegee. Ms. Evers went looking for African males who had this disease and didn't have it. They were looking for a treatment for this disease, but then the government ran out of money and the only way to get a treatment was to study. They called this project “The Tuskegee Study of African American Man with Syphilis,” so they can find out where it originated from and what it will do to them if they go untreated for several months. The name of the study comes from Dr. Brodus and the reason for the experiment. Years passed and it was finally discovered what they were doing? So they called Syphilis by another name which is "Bad Blood" which means the same thing but in their language. They said, “Your general areas will collapse and stop working.” Ms. Evers had to tell the doctor to let her explain why the men didn't know what they were saying. This movie is a segregated picture about an 80% majority of African Americans having syphilis, but they only tested men and not women at Tuskegee hospital. This film is set in Macon County, Alabama. Miss Evers Boys was an image to let people know that there was help in the black community and that they had people on their side in the 70's. Miss Evers thought that studying the black community and not treating it was a bad idea. When this thought was raised, this was a valid point because the healthcare profession should help and not be treated like research. Laurence Fishburne gave an outstanding performance playing “Caleb” who soon fell in love with Alfre Woodard known as “Miss Evers” because the chemistry seems real. In this particular scene Craig Sheffer plays “Dr. Douglas” and Joe Morton as “Dr. Brodus”, and... the middle of the paper......as real as it seems. During the time that Ms. Evers and Dr. Brodus communicated, they exchanged information to contribute to the Tuskegee study. Ms. Evers is committed to helping these men free themselves from this disease and to educate them about what can happen if the disease does not resolve or they are not controlled.
