White Doctors experimenting on poor blacks in the South at the height of segregation.

But they didn't experiment on them, they just observed them. They gave them medical care for their other conditions, which those men would not have had access to otherwise.

The experiment s/h ended when penicillin was developed in, I think, 1940 or so. Instead it went on till 1972 when someone publicized it. Some of the men passed it on to family members needlessly. Some of the doctors and a nurse involved in the experiment were black. Though they didn't think up the experiment, just carried it out.
