In this senior project, I am seeking to explore the profound history of medical mistrust within the African American community in the United States, which will include the life of Henrietta Lacks, the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, the 1980s HIV/AIDS era, and much more. As a black woman, I feel compellingly connected to the personal stories of those who experienced medical mistrust, and I have made it a mission to spread the message of allowing exceptional and trustworthy healthcare for all African Americans in the future of the United States.Accessibility Statement
