The event will feature opening speakers from Howard County, the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, the National Institutes of Health, and the Voices for Our Fathers Legacy Foundation, an organization founded by descendants of the victims of the U.S. Public Health Service Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male at Tuskegee and Macon County, Alabama. Public outrage surrounding this unethical study directly led to the passing of the National Research Act and creation of the Belmont Report. The event will conclude with a facilitated panel discussion with human research protections experts, researchers, and community voices.
