Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment A Tuskegee doctor, for example, praised “the educational advantages offered our interns and nurses as well as the added standing it will give the hospital.” Nurse Rivers explained her role as one of passive obedience: “we were taught that we never diagnosed, we never prescribed; we followed the doctor's instructions!” Gray, however, named only whites and white organizations as defendants in the suit, portraying Tuskegee as a fl and white case when it was in fact more complex than that—fl doctors and institutions had been involved from beginning to end.

A-Train: Memoirs of a Tuskegee Airman Alabama Review - Find Articles Charles W. Dryden, an African American pilot trained by the Army Air Corps at Tuskegee, has written a moving memoir of his military career, which began in 1941 as an aviation cadet and ended in 1962 after he had attained the rank of lieutenant colonel.
