Guatemalan Syphilis Experiments

CLAS at U of U congratulates Manette and Alice two rising seniors in the Granite School District on a website they developed as part of Utah History Day.  The website documents The Guatemalan Syphilis Experiments that were conducted from 1946-1948 jointly between The United States Public Health Services (USPHS) and the Guatemalan government.  Both students identify as Latinx and stated that the project was significant with regards to their cultures and ethnicities.  Check out their work here: https://84844274.nhdwebcentral.org/home

Thanks to the Utah Division of State History for sharing their important work.
