THE AIDS EPIDEMIC AND THE LEGACY OF THE TUSKEGEE EXPERIMENT

In 1990, a survey found that 10 percent of African Americans believed that the U.S. government created AIDS as a plot to exterminate blacks, and another 20 percent could not rule out the possibility that this might be true. As preposterous and paranoid as this may sound, at one time the Tuskegee experiment must have seemed equally farfetched.

Who could imagine the government, all the way up to the Surgeon General of the United States, deliberately allowing a group of its citizens to die from a terrible disease for the sake of an ill-conceived experiment? In light of this and many other shameful episodes in our history, African Americans' widespread mistrust of the government and white society in general should not be a surprise to anyone.

This MOVEMENT does NOT advocate generalizing hatred and bias toward any one race of people
Our common enemy is the SYSTEM that endorses the ideals of Racial Discrimination and Prejudice.

The American P.R.I.D.E. Movement is NOT exclusive to Americans of African descent, it is open to All People who are prepared to acknowledge and properly address the injustice toward Citizens of African descent present throughout American History. It is a Movement for Citizens committed to moving toward a change for the better in our great nation.
