The Guatemalan Syphilis Study

The Guatemalan Syphilis experiments were conducted in Guatemala from 1946 to 1948. They were led by John Cutler, who would go on participate in the Tuskegee Experiments. This was unknown, until Historian and Professor Susan Mokotoff Reverby found Cutler's archives, while she was researching the Tuskegee Experiments. Guatemala has condemned these experiments as crimes against humanity.
Carmen tells Cristina about this dark chapter in Guatemala history and it's aftermath. They also discuss the recent news about Nury Martinez, former president of the Los Angeles City Council and her racists remarks.
