Content warning: This session describes how medical researchers treated human remains – primarily of African Americans – in an unethical, egregious, and disrespectful fashion, denying these individuals the dignity everyone deserves after death. No pictures of identifiable individual remains will be shown, but viewers may find the content disturbing. Descendants and community members are actively engaged in the ongoing research project.
